CLAIMS ‘LACK OF 

FAITH AND RESPECT’ 

BY DAVID DORE 

NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER 

SPENCER — Speaking 

publicly for the first time 

since he announced his 

resignation last month, 

Paul Guida described “a 

lack of faith and respect” 

between him and the 

Board of Selectmen that 

made it difficult to continue 

as Spencer’s town 

administrator. 

Complicating matters, 

he said, was the turnover 

on the board within weeks 

of his March 2008 hiring. 

Longtime Selectmen 

Vincent Cloutier and John 

Gagnon decided not to seek 

re-election, and voters 

Paul Guida chose Donald Berthiaume 

Jr. and Seth Fancher to 

replace them. Peter Durant became

In an interview last

Director Jen Reynolds 

said the squad members 

have done an even 

better job than expected 

this year, and she is 

pleased to see them 

advance as far as they 

have. 

“The teams did a 

really great job this 

year,” said Reynolds. 

“Everyone is really 

excited to see them go 

one to the state tournament.” 

Leicester High 

School Cheerleading 

Coach Sarah 

Montigny said she is

“This year I have 

seen a 100 percent 

turnaround,” said 

Montigny. “Last year it was a hard year for us, but this 

year there is a new sense of commitment.” 

There are 19 members of this year’s team, nine of 

which carried over from last year. Montigny said it has 

been nice to work with some of them for all three years

Gaudette to become interim manager 

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ 

NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT 

SPENCER — If all goes as expected, Town 

Administrator Paul Guida will leave his 

post on the last day of February — and on 

the first day of March, Town Planner Adam 

Gaudette will become interim administrator. 

Although members of the Board of 

Selectmen refused to say anything about 

what came of their closed-door meeting 

with Guida before Monday’s regular meeting, 

they did authorize Chairman Donald 

Berthaiume Jr. to talk with Gaudette about 

stepping in when Guida leaves. 

The board Monday also set a five-item 

warrant for a Thursday, Dec. 10 Special 

Town Meeting — including two items related 

to the administrator change, and another 

item increasing the amount needed for 

Water Department work from $6.6 million to 

about $8 million. Officials said they are hoping 

that the added amount will be paid for 

with federal stimulus money. 

Gaudette said he is excited to be considered 

as interim town administrator, but was 

uncomfortable talking about it until the 

Board of Selectmen come to a final agreement 

with Guida. 

“I’m ready for whatever date they negotiate,” 

he said. 

Gaudette said he hasn’t thought far 

enough ahead to consider whether he’d 

apply for the position of permanent town 


“I don’t know yet,” he said. “I haven’t even

tried it yet, but I like working with the people 

in Spencer — it’s what I do now, and it’s 

what I’ll be doing then.” 

Gaudette said that prior to becoming 

Spencer’s town planner in August 2008, he 

was a town planner in Northbridge, then 

worked for several years in the private sector 

as a planner and chief operating officer. 

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING 

Article 1: The first item to be voted on at 

the Special Town Meeting will be whether to 

raise the amount for a two-zone pressure 

system for the Water Department from the 

$6.6 million approved at the spring Town 

Meeting to about $8 million, the amount it is 

now estimated to cost. 

The town agreed to complete the project as 

part of the Administrative Consent Order 

with the state Department of 

Environmental Protection after the April 

2007 water emergency, when 34 gallons of lye 

were accidentally released into the town’s 

water system. 

Federal stimulus money is expected to pay 

for at least 14 percent of the total project, 

though no official numbers will be available 

until the end of January, said Utilities and 

Facilities Superintendent Robert McNeil III. 

Both the Water Commission and Bond 

Commission have approved the request, 

McNeil said. Only the 1,775 residences and 

businesses that use town water will be 

responsible for paying for those repairs, officials 

said. 

Article 2: Residents will be asked to vote to 

allow the town to use a $28,000 check from 

the town’s insurance company to buy a new 

$33,000 Highway Department Truck to 

replace the truck destroyed during an accident 

a couple of months ago. Although only 

$5,000 of town funds will be used, the item 

still needs Town Meeting approval, officials 

said. 

Articles 3 and 4: Voters will be asked to 

allow officials to transfer funds to enable the 

town to transfer Gaudette from the town 

planner’s office to the town administrator’s 

office, then hire a part-time consultant to 

help cover Gaudette’s absence in the

Article 5: Town officials are being faced 

with medical bills from a volunteer who was 

bitten by a rabid skunk. Although voters 

will be asked to approve the full amount of 

$6,200, officials said they are confident the 

town’s insurance will pay for all but the 

$1,000 deductible. 

STROLLS AND ALCOHOL 

In other business at Monday’s meeting, 

the board: 

• Announced that the Christmas Stroll 

will be held Saturday, Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 

p.m. Anyone who picks up a passport and 

has it stamped by the four churches and 15 

businesses participating will be eligible for 

prizes. Prize winners’ names will be drawn 

during the Dec. 7 “Talk of the Town” cable 

show. 

• Set a 2 a.m. New Year’s Eve closing time 

for places serving alcohol. 

• Said it will now require all businesses 

applying for liquor licenses to provide proof 

that their servers are “TIPS” certified, 

meaning they have been trained in how to 

assess and deal with people who are becoming 

intoxicated. That would, among other 

benefits, decrease the number of calls police 

get about problem patrons, officials said. 

“Some establishments are being visited by 

police too frequently, and that means that 

the servers are not doing their job,” said 

Selectman Anthony Bove Jr. 

Spencer readies for 

Christmas light 

parade 

SPENCER — Downtown Spencer 

will be sparkling Dec. 20 during the 

first-ever Christmas-light parade. 

Fire Chief Robert Parsons has 

invited all local fire departments to 

join Spencer in decorating fire trucks 

with lights, wreaths and ornaments 

then drive through town. Local businesses 

and organizations are also 

welcome to enter their own lightedup 

float or truck, officials said. 

The event will start at 6 p.m. with 

judging at David Prouty High School, 

continue with the parade, then end 

with the lighting of the town 

Christmas tree. The best-decorated 

truck or float will win a trophy — and 

bragging rights — for a year, until the 

second annual parade, officials said. 

Anyone interested can call the Fire 

Department at (508) 885-3555 or the 

Board of Selectmen at (508) 885-7500.

‘Walking school bus’ goes weekly 

S PROGRAM COULD HELP AS QUABOAG FACES STATE AID CUT 

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ 

NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT 

WEST BROOKFIELD — More and more 

kids will be walking or bicycling to school, 

thanks to a program being started at West 

Brookfield Elementary School. 

“They’re taking the ‘walking school bus,’” 

said parent Laura MacLachlan said at the 

Nov. 16 Quaboag Regional School Committee 

meeting. 

The “Safe Routes to School” program 

encourages children to walk or bicycle to 

school. The program is already under way on 

Tuesdays — and this week, the “celebrity 

walker” was none other than 

Superintendent of Schools Brett Kustigian. 

“Tomorrow at 8:15, I will be there and 

walking to school,” Kustigian said Monday, 

Nov. 23. “I think it’s wonderful. I think that 

anything we can do as a school district, or as 

a community, to promote wellness is what we 

want to do.” 

While Kustigian’s praise of the program 

focused on the physical benefits to the students, 

the program is certainly coming at a 

good time for the district. The district is 

wrestling with how to deal with a $108,989 

cut in state funding for transportation, and 

talking about consolidating bus routes for 

the rest of the 2009-10 school year. 

District Business Manager Joseph 

Scanlon, who spoke later at the Nov. 16 meeting, 

said the district is going to start looking

at busing costs to see where cuts can be 

made. 

“We’ve identified six bus routes we think 

can be eliminated,” he said. 

Those cuts would come on buses that are 

not filled, he said, adding that more study 

will be done before any final plan is made. 

“This is not something we would enter into 

lightly,” Scanlon said. 

Having more students walking to school 

would help Scanlon’s attempts to consolidate 

bus routes. The U.S. Department of 

Transportation’s Safe Routes to School program 

aims to make walking and bicycling to 

school a safe and appealing form of transportation. 

In 1969, about half of all students walked 

or bicycled to school. Today, however, fewer 

than 15 percent of all school trips are made 

by walking or bicycling, according to the 

DOT. 

MacLachlan, a mother of three, said that 

decrease in children’s exercise is frightening. 

“Our children are the first generation that 

may not outlive their parents,” she said. 

Kustigian said he thinks the walking-bus 

program is a step in the right direction. 

“With all the problems with obesity in children, 

the more we encourage wellness, the 

better off our children will be,” he said. 

“Anything we can do to encourage physical 

activity is a no-brainer.”

Economy puts brakes on housing projects 

DEVELOPMENTS IN LEICESTER, SPENCER AFFECTED BY MARKET DOWNTURN 

BY TERESA A. FRANCO 


Despite recent national reports 

that the economy is showing hints 

of improvement, there are still 

some areas that are lagging behind. 

Some local housing projects have 

been delayed or come to a halt 

because of a poor market. 

Three senior housing projects in 

Leicester received permits and 

were approved for construction in 

2004, according to Town Planner 

Michelle Buck. The housing units 

are Oakridge Estates, an extension 

of Virginia Drive, Briarcliff 

Estates, off Stafford Street, and 

Grandview Estates, off Route 56. 

Buck said recently the developers 

of the three housing units got 

approval from the Planning Board 

to extend their five-year construction 

permits. 

“The construction has slowed 

down,” she said. “So they came 

back to the Planning Board to ask 

for more time to finish.” 

Teresa A. Franco photo 

Briarcliff Estates, above, off Stafford Street in Leicester, is one of three senior housing 

projects where construction has slowed because of the poor economy. 

The reason for the slow construction, 

Buck said, is because the 

housing units are having trouble 

being sold since the economy 

slowed down. 

For the time being, Buck said, 

“the main issue is just making sure 

that people who are living in the 

unfinished projects are protected as 

much as they can. We are making 

sure the roadways are safe.” 

In Spencer, five years ago the 

wheels were put in motion to turn 

Sibley Farms on Main Street (Route 

9) into a mixed use complex, including 

housing units and commercial 

space. At that time permits were 

given, but no progress on the project 

has been made. 

Town Planner Adam Gaudette 

said extensions were given last 

month for the construction permits 

to finish phase one of the project. 

However, Gaudette did not give any 

indication the project would reach 

completion any time soon. 

“The fact they are not starting yet 

shows there is no market for it,” he 

said. 

There were plans to create a 

housing complex called Trout 

Brook Estates off Rice Corner Road 

in Brookfield years ago that would 

increase the amount of affordable 

housing in town by qualifying it 

under Chapter 40B of state law. But 

the plans came to a stop for reasons 

unrelated to the economic downturn. 

The developer and owner of the 

property, Todd Marsh, and his wife 

were killed in a car accident on 

May 11, 2008. The land was then 

sold to the state, said Brookfield 

Board of Selectmen Administrative 

Assistant Donna Neylon, and 

became part of Wolf Swamp, a conservation 

area. 

“It’s just a place to hike now and 

that’s all it will ever be,” Neylon 

said.

REPORTERS 

NOTEBOOK 

DAVID DORE 

First it was the MBTA, and now the 

Town of Leicester has banned the 

use of cellular phones by employees 

while they are working. 

The new policy, approved by selectmen 

last week, states it applies to 

“any device that makes or receives 

phone calls, leaves messages, sends 

text messages, surfs the Internet, or 

downloads and allows for the reading 

of and responding to e-mail whether 

the device is company-supplied or 

personally owned.” 

That list can include not only cell 

phones, but also laptop computers, 

“smart phones,” such as a 

BlackBerry or Apple iPhone, and 

Apple iPods, some of which can connect to 

the Internet to visit Web sites and download 

e-mail messages. 

Municipal employees cannot use those 

devices while driving town-owned vehicles, 

“whether the business conducted is personal 

or Town-related,” the policy states. The prohibition 

also applies when employees are 

driving their own vehicles while working for 

the town. 

“To safely use your cell phone or similar 

device you are required to stop your vehicle 

in a safe location,” the policy states. 

The new rules will apply to departments 

under the board’s purview, Town 

Administrator Robert Reed said Monday, 

Nov. 23, and will be forwarded to school officials 

for their review. 

The policy is stricter than the one 

implemented by the Massachusetts 

Bay Transportation Authority in 

May after a trolley driver sending 

text messages to his girlfriend got 

into an accident that damaged three 

trolley cars and hurt 50 people. The 

MBTA’s rules prohibit bus, subway 

and trolley drivers from even having 

cell phones, iPods and pages in their 

pockets while they are working. 

Reed said Leicester’s policy was 

sparked by a suggestion from the 

town’s insurance company, the 

Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance 

Association, and not by any incidents 

in town. It is part of a larger effort to 

update the town’s personnel policies to deal 

with topics such as sexual harassment and 

computer equipment usage. 

The rules could help the town save money 

on insurance, Reed said, since MIIA considers 

new policies and seminars that town 

employees attend in determining insurance 

rates. 

Anyone who violates the policy in 

Leicester can face discipline up to and 

including losing their jobs, similar to the 

MBTA’s rules. 

“I would just love to have one law that says 

use your blankety heads,” Selectman 

Douglas Belanger said at his board’s meeting 

last week. “If you’re an idiot while driving, 

you should be written up.” 

Violations can be reported to the employee’s 

supervisor or the Board of Selectmen’s 

office, Reed said, but he warned that officials 

“would need something definitive” to prove 

the policy was broken. 

TAX RATE TALK 

Also at last week’s selectmen’s meeting, 

Principal Assessor John Prescott announced 

Leicester’s property tax rate for fiscal 2010 

would be $11.73 per $1,000 assessed value, 

pending approval from the state Department 

of Revenue. That would be an increase of 

$1.33 over last year’s rate. 

Much of the reason for the hike, Prescott 

said, is that the values of single-family 

homes have dropped about 10 percent and 

fewer houses are being built. He said the 

amount of new construction added to the 

property tax rolls, about $97,000 per year, is 

“less than half” of the rate from previous 

years and “pretty typical of the area.” 

CDBG ATTRACTING TOWNS 

Add Brookfield and Leicester to the list of 

towns hoping to get money through a federal 

program to fix roads and buildings and complete 

a variety of projects. 

Selectmen in the two communities hosted 

hearings last week to start the application 

process for the Community Development 

Block Grant Program, administered by the 

Massachusetts Department of Housing and 

Community Development. 

Brookfield is looking for its fifth CDBG 

award, and will once again be part of a fourtown 

application with Ware, Hardwick and 

Warren. Leicester, meanwhile, is applying for 

the first time after a 2007 joint application 

with Spencer was not successful. Spencer 

later got CDBG money by applying on its 

own. 

Brookfield officials came up with a list of 

nearly two dozen community development 

priorities they hope could be funded through 

the CDBG program, from improvements 

along Main, High and Draper streets to modernizing 

the Brookfield Housing Authority 

property on Hayden Avenue, from making 

Town Hall handicap accessible to creating a 

Senior Center or a Youth Center. 

Officials in Leicester have put housing 

rehabilitation along Route 9, part of Stafford 

Street and much of Cherry Valley high on 

their priority list. Among the items also on 

the list are street reconstruction, rehabilitating 

and modernizing town buildings and 

updating the town’s expired Open Space and 

Recreation Plan. 

Both towns, as required by the state, drew 

up Community Development Strategies that 

list their goals and how they hope to accomplish 

them.

Balancing act: For some, dinner a time for détente 

BY GUS STEEVES 


Got meat? 

If so, a fair number of people in our community 

don’t want it. They’re vegetarians. 

Almost all of them, however, find themselves 

juggling the wishes of carnivores 

because their significant others are usually 

of the meat-eating persuasion. 

“That sounds like almost everyone I 

know,” said West Brookfield’s Jamie 

Kordack, a park ranger who teaches vegetarian/vegan 

cooking in the Bay Path night 

school. 

That veg-meat split doesn’t actually reflect 

Kordack’s current relationship, however — 

her boyfriend, David, is a vegan like herself. 

While vegetarians will typically eat dairy 

products and sometimes eggs, vegans avoid 

both. Both groups try to avoid red meat, fish, 

poultry and foods made indirectly from them 

(such as vegetable soup using beef or chicken 

broth). 

According to a 2006 issue of the Vegetarian 

Journal online, “2.3 percent of adults aged 18 

years or older say they never eat meat, fish, 

or fowl and, thus, are vegetarian. 

Furthermore, 6.7 percent of the total say 

they never eat meat.” Based on the 2000 census, 

that means about 4.7 million adults are 

some form of vegetarian, with about half of 

them being vegan, it states. 

“[T]aking into account our other polls over 

the years, The Vegetarian Resource Group 

(the journal’s parent organization) believes 

the number of vegetarians and those never 

eating meat is relatively steady, and this is a 

group that is definitely not going away,” the 

site states. It also notes that far more people 

seek vegetarian options occasionally; various 

sources note that reducing meat consumption 

can have a strong impact on a person’s 

“carbon footprint.” 

Kordack certainly hopes so; in fact, she 

believes the number is growing, especially 

Harlem Superstars to 

return to N. Brookfield 

NORTH BROOKFIELD — The Friends 

of the North Brookfield Playground, for 

the sixth straight year, will be hosting the 

fabulous Harlem Superstars. The game 

will be played at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17 in 

the Julianne Caron Memorial 

Gymnasium at North Brookfield High 

School. 

Each year the crowd keeps getting larger 

and larger, and this year promises to be 

even bigger and better than ever. The 

Superstars’ opponent will be the North 

NEWS BRIEF 

among college-age people. Some come to vegetarianism 

for health reasons, some for 

sociopolitical and environmental reasons, 

but others, including Kordack, see it specifically 

as an issue of animal rights and changing 

how we treat other living things. 

“I guess my animals rights [stance] started 

from the beginning,” Kordack said, noting 

she “couldn’t stand meat” as a child and was 

a “tomboy” who often brought animals 

home, getting a positive response from her 

mother. 

Her parents’ relationship was the veg-carnivore 

relationship — her mother only 

cooked vegetarian, but her father ate meat 

outside the house. At that time, though, they 

didn’t get many fresh vegetables despite having 

a garden and living on a farm (they didn’t 

run it) because her father would only eat 

vegetables from cans. 

“I didn’t know what real, fresh green beans 

tasted like until I was in college,” she admitted. 

That was also when she became vegan. 

Southbridge’s Scott Benoit knows how 

hard it can be to stick to a vegan diet — he’s 

tried it a few times but admits he’s succeeded 

for “no more than a month.” 

“Cheese is my biggest challenge,” he 

admits. “You can skip eggs — although if 

you buy bread, most of them have eggs in 

them — but there is no substitute for cheese. 

I’ve paid big bucks for some products and 

found out, ‘This tastes horrible. It’s not like 

cheese.’” 

“Vegetarian is easy compared to vegan,” 

Benoit added. “I’ve been in restaurants 

where I couldn’t eat anything but appetizers. 

But if I’d been vegan, there’d have been nothing.” 

Maintaining a vegetarian/vegan diet, 

however, is far easier than it used to be. Not 

only are mainstream supermarkets carrying 

meat- and dairy-substitute products in 

increasing numbers and quality — Kordack 

noted, “You can do an entire vegan menu and 

Brookfield Dream Team, which is still 

being assembled. 

If there is a special someone that you’d 

like to see go up against the 7-foot-2 Ricky 

Lopes, let a member of the committee 

know, and that person will be enticed into 

playing. 

Tickets, which make great stocking 

stuffers, will be available after 

Thanksgiving from members of the 

Playground Committee and at Bob’s Deli 

and North Brookfield High School. Prices 

are $7 in advance or $8 at the door.

LeBlanc at (508) 867-2134 or

buy it at Shaw’s” — major food companies 

are realizing there’s demand for vegetarian 

products out there. Unfortunately, that often 

means corporations are buying up smaller 

independent companies, making hard to tell 

exactly where food purchase dollars are 

going. 

Kordack noted her recent cooking class 

students were all women. 

“The overwhelming reason they chose to 

take the course was that they were already 

vegetarians and wanted more ideas,” she 

said. “Some said they’re interested in becoming 

vegan, but don’t know how to make the 

final jump.” 

One of them was Southbridgian Maureen 

Doyle, who has been vegetarian for 21 years 

since high school. Like most vegetarians, 

she said, “most of my veggie-time has been 

spent with non-vegetarians. 

“I met the most opposition to my eating 

lifestyle in Wyoming, where I lived for four 

years,” Doyle said. “It wasn’t difficult to find 

food to eat, but the attitudes against vegetarianism 

were difficult to deal with. Most people 

would tease me about it (which was 

friendly enough) but some people (ranchers, 

especially) would be very defensive, offended 

almost, as if me being a vegetarian would 

ruin their cattle ranch.” 

Said Kordack: “There’s no ‘conversion;’ 

you have to come to this your own way. You 

can’t make anybody do anything. Eating is 

one of the special things in life … and when 

you start talking about food, that’s where 

people can draw lines in the sand.” 

Benoit agreed, saying nobody’s ever 

become vegetarian because they dated him. 

He’s not currently in a relationship, but said 

he’s been in ones with both “veggies” and 

carnivores. In most cases, the vegetarians he 

knows do it for health reasons, a few for ethical 

ones and “one or two didn’t like the 

taste,” he said. 

“I like animals and can’t see killing them,” 

Benoit said. “… The smell of meat is still 

‘Oh, that smells good,’ but I won’t touch it.” 

To Kordack, who recognizes her views are 

a big step for most people, a good middle 

ground can be found by promoting the local 

food movement. Today, the bulk of our food

meal. 

supply is heavily subsidized by the federal 

government in various ways, so “we’re paying 

for it now or paying for it later,” she said. 

Local food and vegetarian food, by contrast, 

tends not to be, so it is somewhat more 

expensive up front. 

“There’s no reason why people can’t eat 

very locally grown and know where the 

food’s coming from,” Kordack said. “They 

can even get meat that way — although I 

don’t want them to — and that’s what people 

need to get back to.”

VIEWPOINT 

OPINION AND COMMENTARY FROM SPENCER, LEICESTER AND THE BROOKFIELDS 

EDITORIAL 

Clouding the issue 

of charter schools 

It’s about the children, stupid. 

Was a time when unions were actually 

a good thing. They still are — 

sometimes. 

Far too often, however, we see cases 

where union interests override just 

about everyone else’s. And that 

appears to be the case when it comes 

to charter schools. 

While, yes, passing his education 

reform plan would give Gov. Deval 

Patrick a whole lot of political clout 

— not to mention that it would pump 

millions of dollars in federal funding 

into the state — it also does something 

many of its critics don’t seem 

to get: It puts the kids first. 

You see, lest we forget, education is 

about the children. You hear a variation 

of that line all the time; if 

you’ve ever watched “The 

Simpsons,” maybe you’ve seen the 

woman who sometimes appears out 

of nowhere, crying “Will someone 

please think about the children?” 

In this case, we’ll ask the same 

thing. 

The governor’s plan isn’t perfect. 

But its inclusion of charter school 

expansion is the right call, no matter 

what the union honchos say. 

The debate over charter schools is 

nothing new. Reporters with this 

newspaper have, throughout years of 

covering School Committee meetings, 

heard charter schools brought 

up almost as though officials were 

expecting Michael Myers to arrive in 

their town and start hacking people 

to pieces. In the public school sector, 

charter schools have never exactly 

been a welcome subject of discussion. 

In this regard, Patrick has hit the 

proverbial nail on the head in wondering 

why unions have become the 

focus of this piece of legislation 

instead of the education of our children. 

It’s certainly worth wondering. 

It may seem overly simplistic, but 

the public really should be asking: 

“Will someone please think about 

the children?”

EDITOR, SPENCER NEW LEADER 

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

McNaboe: Deliberation, discussion on bylaw were public 

To the Editor: 

“There is no act, however virtuous, for which 

ingenuity may not find some bad motive.” — 

Thomas Jefferson 

The Leicester Architectural Conservation 

District Bylaw’s purpose is to preserve and 

protect groups of buildings and their settings 

that are architecturally and historically 

significant. The Town of Leicester 

though this bylaw would be able to limit the 

detrimental effects of alterations, additions, 

demolition, and new construction. 

This would help preserve our history and 

culture for future generations. 

Moe Sadegh’s assertion that a small group 

of people was “planning to railroad though 

a bylaw article” is absurd and shows how 

little Mr. Sadegh understands about the 

machinations of local government. This 

proposed bylaw as all others are discussed 

in great length in public forums in compliance 

with the open meeting laws. 

Discussion is among the Planning Board 

members and the general public, resident 

and non-resident alike. Anyone who has 

attended a Planning Board meeting understands 

that our meetings are rather lengthy 

and delve into the content of the subject 

almost to a fault. Planning Board meetings 

and the agenda are announced publicly, and 

posted on the Town of Leicester Web site. 

These meetings are recorded and minutes 

of those meetings are available to the public. 

The Architectural Conservation District 

Bylaw was discussed on the Planning Board 

meetings of June 2, Aug. 4, Sept. 1 and Oct. 

20. The town planner also updated the 

Planning Board on the bylaw on Sept. 15 

and Oct. 20. The bylaw was also discussed at 

televised selectmen’s meetings of Oct. 5 and 

Oct. 19 and was available to all Leicester 

residents on LCAC. 

Accusing the Planning Board of violating 

the Open Meeting Laws is a very serious 

accusation and should not be made without 

evidence that can’t be sustained. I demand 

Mr. Sadegh to produce evidence that the 

Planning Board has violated the open meeting 

laws or apologize to the Leicester town 

planner and the Leicester Planning Board 

as publicly as the accusations were made. 

As with all organizations, town government 

is run by the residents who show up.

Goodrich: Explaining reason for football player’s departure 


I feel compelled to write about an article 

you ran in the Friday, Nov. 20 Sports section. 

The story was about the Shepherd Hill and 

Tantasqua “Thanksgiving clash.” 

The article was inaccurate when talking 

about senior Jordan Messier’s departure 

from the team, and I feel the correct information 

should be put forward. 

The article made mention of “senior 

Jordan Messier struggling and eventually 

leaving the squad.” This is not the truth. 

Since Jordan was 7 years old, playing Pop 

Warner football, this young man has lived 

and breathed football. He played faithfully 

as a child, and continued on through high 

school at Tantasqua, starting junior varsity, 

and eventually moving up to varsity. He 

waited under the wings of a fantastic quarterback, 

Corey Lavallee, patiently waiting 

for his moment to shine this senior year. 

And shine he did — virtually every newspaper 

article or TV3 clip that featured 

Tantasqua made mention of something beneficial 

that Messier brought to the team. 

Messier and the coaching staff didn’t see 

eye to eye, and this is what led to his departure 

from the team, along with several other 

senior teammates that the article made no 

mention of. 

It was a very hard choice for Messier to 

make, as he had waited years for this 

moment. 

The article also failed to mention that not 

only was Jordan Messier an excellent quarterback, 

he was also captain of the football 

team, which is not a title you get by “struggling” 

your way through high school football. 

JESSICA GOODRICH 

SPENCER 

Editor’s Note: During an interview for the 

article cited above, Tantasqua coach Aaron 

Powell said he switched to another player as 

quarterback because Messier was, in his 

words, struggling. Messier did not like the 

decision, Powell said, and therefore decided to 

leave the team. 

Lunan: Thanks to RE/MAX for bringing balloon to school 


I would like to thank Pam Crawford 

Realty for sponsoring the RE/MAX 

Challenge the Wind program that was 

presented at Wire Village School on Oct. 

30. 

The sixth-graders had been studying 

thermal energy in their science classes 

for nearly two months and it was a wonderful 

program showing many of the concepts 

the students had been taught in 

their classrooms. Chris Mooney, the pilot, 

and his copilot brought the RE/MAX balloon 

from Connecticut right onto the 

playground. Volunteers from the school 

staff and the realty office were instructed 

in how to help inflate the balloon then 

given rides up in the balloon. The audience 

of sixth-grade students was able to see how 

everything worked and to look at all parts of 

the balloon assembly. The pilot and copilot 

then visited each classroom to give additional 

information and answer students’ questions. 

In the words of the students: “The hot air 

balloon was simply astounding! Seeing the 

hot air balloon also made me understand 

more how they work.” — Taylor Butler 

“I can’t believe how big a hot air balloon 

is! At some points, it felt as if the balloon 

Photo courtesy Pam Crawford 

was going to fall on us!” — Ana Caroline 

Carvalho 

“It was fun to look inside of the balloon 

when it was deflated. ... Also I liked when 

you and another pilot came into the building 

to answer all the various questions we had!” 

— Melissa Ashleigh 

Again, thank you for such an educational 

and awe inspiring program. 

BEVERLY LUNAN 

WIRE VILLAGE SCHOOL 

SPENCER 

Honestly 

appreciative 

The story (legend?) goes that Diogenes of 

ancient Greece grabbed his lantern and 

began searching the streets of Athens for an 

honest man. Alas, his search was fruitless. He 

should have come to Southbridge — and the 

Tri-Community YMCA. 

I know whereof I speak 

on this one. Having previously 

suffered a theft or two 

at the hands of some dishonest 

men (and their gender 

is thus assumed by 

virtue of the fact that these 

losses occurred in the 

men’s locker room), I might 

have been somewhat skeptical 

last week when I suddenly 

discovered something 

AS YOU 

LIKE IT 

MARK ASHTON 

missing from my gym bag 

after an afternoon of racquetball 

at the Y. 

The discovery wasn’t 

made until we returned 

home, as I cleaned out the 

gym bag for laundry purposes. 

The towel, sweat 

pants, T-shirt and socks were all there, along 

with my after-workout footwear, but where, oh 

where, were my work jeans, the ones with all 

the paint and caulking on them, the ones with 

my extra set of car keys, my comb and handkerchief, 

my WALLET? 

I went from room to room at home, trying to 

remember if I’d unpacked the gym bag at various 

stops throughout the house, but NO, it 

was cleaned out all at once, and everything 

was there BUT the work pants. I remembered 

having hung them on a hook in my locker at 

the Y, but after racquetball I had made a hasty 

exit, since we had had errands to do before 

supper. 

So, where were the jeans, and my wallet 

with all its credit cards, photo IDs, membership 

cards, family photos, bank account numbers, 

my church temple recommend, and even 

a spare key for my YMCA locker room padlock? 

YIKES! They must still be hanging in 

the (now UNLOCKED) locker. That’s right. I 

had been talking to Wes, who’d beaten everyone 

at racquetball that day, and I must have 

been distracted and loaded everything but the 

work jeans into my gym bag. I must have left 

them right there, unattended, unsecured, for 

anyone who wanted them to abscond with! 

There wasn’t much money in the wallet, but 

it was all I had for the week. And there was an 

uncashed check (and how hard would it be to 

forge MY signature?), and every piece of useful 

identification and membership information 

I could imagine. Talk about identity theft! 

I felt as if this loss would be worse than being 

robbed at gunpoint. In that case, I’d simply 

give them all my money, but in THIS case, 

they’d get things I wouldn’t even know were 

missing until I tried to use AAA on a cold winter 

morning or wanted to rent a video or cash 

in my Staples Rewards certificate! 

It was 8:30 p.m., but I rushed down to the Y 

hoping against hope, worrying that if the 

pants and wallet had been found by someone 

honest I’d have received a call from the front 

desk informing me of my absent-minded 

error. The place was still fairly busy when I 

got there, the parking lot was still half-full, 

and nobody at the front desk gave me a 

“Here’s the dope now!” look when I scanned 

my card to gain entry. 

Nor was the locker room abandoned. There 

were folks in various stages of dress and 

undress, heading to and coming from the 

showers. There were men and gym bags and 

towels on the benches, and there — on the 

bench I had used just a couple of hours earlier 

— were some well-worn jeans, not neatly 

folded, but placed there as if unloaded from a 

locker and awaiting confiscation. 

I couldn’t assume they were mine until I 

saw the telltale paint and sheetrock stains. A 

quick check of the pockets found my car keys 

and change on one side, and my wallet in 

another. Should I check the wallet to see 

what’s missing? No, I took the pants and their 

contents out to the car and home before 

checking all of the contents. The money was 

there, the uncashed check was there, the 

health insurance card, the driver’s license, 

along with all the photos, the secret codes, the 

password reminders — everything was just as 

I had (inadvertently) left it. 

Who knows how many men had used the 

locker room in the last two hours, how many 

had used a locker in my row, or had even used 

my locker? Who knows how many had seen 

my unnattended jeans on the bench, or had 

even sat next to them to put on socks and 

shoes and had left them unmolested? Who 

knows how many might have been tempted by, 

or might even have needed, the contents of 

my wallet, but had decided “It’s not mine.” 

Previously, I’d had to chuckle at those who 

used a locker but didn’t bother putting a lock 

on it. What were they thinking? Didn’t they 

know the dangers and evils of the world in 

which we live? 

Perhaps they’ve known all along something 

that I didn’t. Something about the basic trustworthiness 

of their fellowmen. Something 

about living and letting live, about doing unto 

others as you would have them do unto you, 

something about building strong bodies, 

minds, and spirits at a place called the Young 

Men’s Christian Association. 

The Tri-Community YMCA has been in 

operation for 127 years, and while I’ll continue 

to put a lock on my locker (isn’t it better 

NOT to put temptation in someone else’s 

way?), I’m beginning to understand why from 

its earliest days (circa 1816) Southbridge was 

known as “Honest Town.”

VIEWPOINT 

Obama might be imperfect, but he’s not evil 

BY JIM PERRY 

GUEST COLUMNIST 

Upon reading Ronald E. Allen’s 

guest column (‘Fundamental concerns 

about the American president,” 

Nov. 13), I came across so 

many examples of misinformation 

and exaggerations based on socalled 

news, it would be laughable 

if it wasn’t so serious. I felt I had to 

respond. 

Our country is so divided right 

now, it is frightening, and one of 

the main reasons is the failure of 

the national media to get the facts 

right. And Fox News is the main 

culprit. Mr. Allen’s “facts” seem to 

be based on the Fox machine’s version 

of the truth. Everything from 

Obama’s ‘socialist’ leanings, to his 

so-called plans for building a 

Hitlerian-style civilian security 

force reeks of Glenn Beck-style 

paranoia. 

Since the first day of Mr. 

Obama’s presidency, the vitriol oozing 

from the right has been way 

over the top. Comparing it to the 

venom aimed at President Bush 

and calling it the usual oppositional 

politics is really inaccurate. 

When Mr. Bush was first elected, all 

Americans, including Democrats, 

treated the office of the president 

respectfully, and hoped that he 

would grow into the job. After 9/11, 

the entire country rallied to his 

side. It was only after the illegal 

and wrongheaded invasion of Iraq 

that the tide turned and commentary 

toward Mr. Bush became 

meaner and darker. With Mr. 

Obama, he did not even have a 

chance to plant his feet before the 

tidal wave of smears began. The 

anger aimed at Mr. Bush was based 

on the facts of his radical military 

agenda and cowboy-style diplomacy, 

among other things. With 

Obama, he didn’t even make one 

decision and he was already labeled 

as a) not an American citizen, b) a 

radical Constitution hater, c) a 

socialist/communist with an agenda 

... and on and on. 

A lot of the story lines that are 

perpetuated by Fox News are based 

on half-truths. For example, and I 

quote Mr. Allen, “ACORN is the 

most corrupt organization in the 

United States.” Well, here’s what 

Fox did, and what they do so well: 

they snared a few bad apples making 

very ugly claims in front of a 

secret camera, and then took the 

video and ran with it. Yes, it was a 

scandal, and yes, ACORN deserved 

to be brought to task for it. Here’s 

where reality and Fox News part 

ways. From that point on, Fox has 

continued to relentlessly hammer 

away at ACORN, elevating the 

organization into evil personified. 

According to Fox, ACORN will 

destroy this country. The real truth 

is that ACORN has been remarkably 

successful in bringing poor 

minorities opportunities they 

would normally not have. They are 

not perfect, but they are also not 

what the news makes them out to 

be. To claim that they are the most 

corrupt organization in the United 

States is a joke. What about 

Blackwater and the other civilian 

companies contracted by the military? 

Does rape and murder and 

pillaging hundreds of millions of 

our tax dollars count as corruption? 

It is true that Mr. Obama encountered 

some radical thinking on his 

way to the top job. The Rev. Wright 

and Bill Ayers, among others, 

espoused ideas that were far from 

the mainstream. And yes, it was 

worth checking into those connections. 

Nothing came of it, if you 

really think about it. So why do people 

keep bringing up their names? 

What’s the point? To prove that 

Obama is radical? He is no more 

radical than Mr. Bush was, maybe 

even less. And if anyone was a 

threat to the Constitution, I believe 

it was Mr. Bush. People like Mr. 

Allen are so concerned about our 

“Freedom” under Obama. I wonder 

where people like him were when 

President Bush was secretly tapping 

into all of our telephones, 

compiling lists of suspected terrorists 

based on very flimsy evidence, 

and other such threats to our basic 

freedoms. 

Meanwhile, Van Jones, a black 

man who also became involved in 

radical circles throughout his past, 

has become the face of Obama’s socalled 

radicalism. Before Mr. Jones 

was brought down, also by a Fox 

smear campaign, he was only working 

for the administration as a 

green energy jobs “czar.” And what 

is this paranoia over all of Obama’s 

“czars”? Wake up America, Obama 

did not invent the “czar.” In fact, 

Bush had a ton of them. And 

“czars” are not some monsters 

looking to steal your freedom. It’s 

just a harmless title given to government 

officials. Van Jones was 

not a threat to this country’s freedom. 

His effectiveness at empowering 

the powerless is what made him 

a threat. In fact, most of what is 

being passed off as Obama’s radicalism 

comes from the fear of 

change. 

I am an American citizen who 

voted for Obama with great hopes 

for “fundamental change,” a term 

that Mr. Allen seems to fear. I still 

believe that this great country 

needs to get extremely “fundamental” 

about itself. Personally, quite a 

few of my progressive friends and I 

are pretty baffled by some of 

Obama’s policies so far. Our reasons 

for dissatisfaction are different 

from Mr. Allen’s. Fine. That’s 

what makes this country great. All 

elected officials deserve to be scrutinized. 

All I ask of people is to keep their 

eyes open, do not rely only on Fox 

News, and read between the lines. 

Our economy is in shambles, and 

although I disagree with Obama’s 

attempts to turn things around, I 

feel bad for him in a way. 

Remember that the bottom fell out 

before he became president, and 

remember that it was President 

Bush who signed on for the bailout. 

If we keep things in perspective, we 

will all be better off for it. 

Our president is not some crazed 

radical who somehow snuck into 

the Oval Office. He is just a slick, 

charismatic, imperfect politician 

who picked a very bad time to 

become president.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

King: ‘Positive change’ needed from health care debate 


It always amazes me when people support 

the public health care option. Mr. J. Artale 

provided a window of incomplete thinking/information 

on this subject in the Nov. 6 

edition of a local newspaper. 

The public option in the national health 

care bill just passed by the House requires 

you to purchase health insurance, whether 

you need it or want it, and dictates the 

parameters of your policy. If you fail to purchase 

health insurance, you will be fined 

and if you fail to pay the fine, criminal 

penalties up to $259,000 or imprisonment up 

to five years can be the result. Does this 

sound like a positive reform? Is this freedom 

of choice in America? The bill is over 1,990 

pages. How many representatives read it 

before they voted on it? 

Under this bill, private insurance and 

competition will cease to exist. The taxpayer 

subsidized public option will be less expensive 

than all other insurance and no level 

playing field will exist. Over time, private 

health insurance will be history. This option 

will require $500 billion in cuts for 

Medicare, $170 billion in cuts for Medicare 

Advantage and a 20 percent cut in doctor’s 

pay. Is this real reform? 

Why would we want to so drastically 

change a health care system that has an 85 

percent approval rating? Why can’t we simply 

have common sense and provide for 

health insurance to be purchased across 

state lines and implement real competition 

instead of more government bureaucracy? 

Other true reforms could include tort 


At this time of year I tend to reflect on 

things for which I am thankful. 

This year I am particularly thankful for 

friends like Jean Mulhall and Peter Durant 

who arranged a surprise retirement party 

for me. When I was sick last winter I 

received many get well wishes, which I 

appreciated, but the kindnesses shown to 

me at the party was a complete shock. In the 

28 years that I was town moderator I had 

many good memories and met many nice 

people. One of my favorite folk songs has a 

line, “Memories are what you have when 

reform, prosecuting corruption and fraud 

and reducing waste. 

“60 Minutes” had a recent show about 

Medicare fraud where one Florida criminal 

was stealing $20 million per week with false 

claims. One woman had complained to 

Medicare for six years about bogus procedure 

billings on her account and the government 

has yet to start an investigation. This 

happens thousands of times all across our 

country. Does anyone care? Why should we 

pour over $1 trillion more into a new government 

program? 

Why isn’t anyone discussing the current 

health care system that our representatives 

and senators have now? Why should our 

elected officials have a separate system? 

How does their system compare to the public 

option? 

We need to step back and consider real, 

positive health care reform. We don’t need 

more bureaucracy or rationed health care. 

Being technically correct about what is in 

the health care bill is not the same as being 

truly correct. The media/journalists have 

let us down by not doing investigative work. 

The Congress has let us down by not being 

transparent and not posting legislation 72 

hours before bringing it up for a vote. In the 

final analysis, it is not about health care so 

much as it is about politics and power. When 

will taxpayers finally demand positive 

change? 

WILLIAM H. KING 


McPherson: Thank you for the many years of memories 

you are old, to have and to hold.” Thanks to 

Al Shedyak for a videotape and Casey Danek 

for about 100 still pictures, I will have the 

memories of my party forever. 

As I looked around the room I saw many of 

the people who have worked very hard to 

move Spencer forward. Thank you to the 

many people who attended and those who 

supported me as moderator over the years. 

As I enter the winter of my life, I will say 

thanks for the memories.

Eagles too much for Bay Path in season finale 



WORCESTER — The Bay Path football 

team had high expectations entering the 2009 

season, as the Minutemen won the 

Vocational Super Bowl the year before and 

saw itself being equally as successful this 

fall. But injuries and bad circumstances 

crushed Bay Path’s dreams early in the year. 

They still had their annual 

“Thanksgiving” game with Worcester Tech 

to play for. 

However, the Eagles continued their 

impressive season in fine fashion at 

Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium on 

Nov. 21, defeating the Minutemen 42-6. 

“They’re a very good team, the best team 

on our schedule,” Bay Path coach Al Dhembe 

said of Worcester Tech, which finished its 

regular season at 9-2. “They’re going to represent 

our class in Division 3 (in the playoffs) 

big time. 

“They’re loaded,” Dhembe continued. 

“They have size, athleticism, they have a

great quarterback, two super running backs, 

and this wasn’t pretty.” 

Dhembe spoke of quarterback Matt 

Letourneau, who finished the game completing 

seven of nine passing attempts for 106 

yards and a touchdown. The running back 

tandem of James Lamoureux (17 carries, 112 

yards, four touchdowns) and Josh Borrero 

(five carries, 58 yards) were also able to 

exploit the Minutemen defense all afternoon. 

The Eagles scored on their first possession 

and never looked back. Letourneau found 

Melvin Nagbe open for a 22-yard pass that set 

up Lamoureux’s first touchdown, a 2-yard 

score. 

After Bay Path was forced to punt, 

Worcester Tech wasted little time in recording 

another touchdown. 

On the sixth play of the possession 

Letourneau found an open Nagbe for a 7-yard 

touchdown. Borrero’s two-point conversion 

rush made it 14-0 after one quarter of play.

Minutemen in the second quarter, as 

Lamoureux scored from 8 yards out to make 

it 20-0. 

The Eagles fumbled the ball on their next 

possession, and Bay Path’s Ty Spooner 

scooped it up. The Minutemen possibly had 

some momentum brewing, but it was cut 

short quickly. 

Bay Path quarterback Kyle Pearson took 

the snap at his own 10-yard line and dropped 

back to pass. But no one was open and 

Frankie Vazquez hit him in the end zone, 

resulting in a safety. 

David Vescera then received the ensuing 

kickoff and took it 60 yards to pay dirt, and 

Worcester Tech led at the half, 28-0. 

The Minutemen were only able to gain 36 

yards of offense in the first half of play. 

Lamoureux scored from 17 yards out in the 

third quarter to make it 35-0, and then found 

the end zone again, this time a 19-yard rush 

in the final quarter, to make it 42-0. 

The Minutemen got their offense rolling in 

their final two possessions of the game. 

Josh St. Laurent had gains of 8, 12 and 36 

yards before scoring from 10 yards out to get 

Bay Path on the board. 

In the final possession John Vidal had 

some impressive runs, including an 11- 

yarder as time expired. The ball was on the 

12, so he came just 1 yard short of putting 

per 

thousand 

more points on the board for the Minutemen. 

Bay Path finished its season at 5-6 and can 

only wonder what if. 

Senior co-captain Nate Gaines sustained 

an injury in Week 1, but returned in Week 3. 

He then suffered an off-the-field injury shortly 

thereafter that ended his season. Matt Hall, 

another senior co-captain and the starting 

quarterback, also got hurt early in the season 

and ultimately left the team. 

“We ran into an unbelievable, inordinate 

amount of injuries and problems,” Dhembe 

said. “We came into today’s game without 

nine starters.” 

Three more starters, including senior cocaptain 

Zack Green, also went down with 

injuries in the Worcester Tech game. 

But the Minutemen do show some promise, 

as Pearson (6-of-9, 34 yards) is just a sophomore 

and was making his second career 

start. St. Laurent (12 carries, 107 yards) and 

Vidal (eight carries, 52 yards) are only freshmen 

and had some impressive rushes. 

“We have some young kids,” Dhembe 

admitted. “The freshmen class went undefeated, 

10-0. We’re looking forward to working 

with them next year. We have the tailbacks 

and a couple linemen that are freshmen. 

It’s going to be a rebuilding year, but 

we’ll do the best we can.”

Leftover turkey can be terrific, too 

If the day after Thanksgiving 

the remains of Tom Turkey 

are taking up half of your 

refrigerator space, it’s time 

to use up all the leftover meat 

pronto or freeze it for future 

meals. According to the Center 

of Science in the Public Interest 

(CSPI), the Thanksgiving turkey 

can be eaten for four days after 

cooking. This week’s column 

will spotlight some delicious 

meals perfect for last minute 

suppers — or beyond, if you 

have frozen the leftovers. ?_If 

you think hot turkey sandwiches 

and turkey noodle soup are your 

only options, read on. With a few 

extra additions, your post 

Thanksgiving meals can be as 

interesting as the memorable 

main event.

Do some financial planning as new year nears 

The best financial decisions 

are made with the benefit 

of time, thoughtful consideration 

and trusted professional 

advice. As tax time 

once again approaches, there 

are many things you can do to 

give you the flexibility to 

make the best long-term 

financial decisions and to 

minimize expenses, taxes and 

the headache of organizing 

your finances at the last 

minute. 

• Get started on organizing 

your tax records. In preparing 

for this year’s tax filing, 

begin to organize your important 

2009 financial records. 

These records include year 

end investment statements, 

capital gain and loss statements 

from asset sales, 

records from real estate 

transactions, interest and dividend 

records for the year 

(1099s), payroll and withholding 

statements (W-2s) and 

records relating to deductible 

expenses such as property 

taxes and insurance, business

Brookfield/Brookfield Toys for Joy is looking 

for donations again to aid in this cause. 

To make donations, please send to Toys for 

Joy, P.O. Box 575, East Brookfield, MA 01515 

for both East Brookfield and Brookfield. 

The only way that this program works is 

due to donations from both businesses and

done so, place these records 

in individual file folders so 

everything will be organized 

for you at tax preparation 

time. 

• Review your insurance 

coverages. At least once a 

year, it is a smart idea to 

review your insurance policies 

to be sure that the coverage 

terms and amounts still 

meet your needs. Be sure to 

evaluate all of your insurance 

policies, including life, 

disability, homeowners or 

renters, vehicle, liability, 

health and long-term care. 

• Safeguard your documents. 

All of your difficult to 

replace legal and financial 

documents should be stored 

in a safe and fireproof location. 

Consider renting a safedeposit

or purchase a fireproof lockbox 

from an office supplies 

store. Documents you should

• Review your estate plans. 

Do you have a current will 

and does it accurately reflect 

your personal wishes for the 

distribution of your assets? 

Have the personal or financial 

circumstances of your 

beneficiaries changed significantly 

over the past year? 

Have you considered a gifting 

program to move assets out of

reviewed your estate plan in

smart thing to do.

how you manage your 

finances can eliminate 

much of the drudgery 

of financial record 

keeping. Designate one 

credit card for primary 

use and put the others 

away — that way you’ll 

only have one statement to 

deal with each month. If you 

have several small checking 

or savings accounts at different 

banks, consider consolidating 

these at one bank. 

Again, you will have fewer 

statements to review each 

month and it will be much 

easier for you to keep track of 

your cash flow. If you have 

opened more than one IRA 

over the years, consider 

rolling these together into 

one account, as there is seldom 

any real advantage in 

maintaining multiple IRAs. 

The same holds true for Roth 

IRAs.

to meet your needs, 

your goals and the level of 

risk that you are comfortable 

with. Reallocate your portfolio 

if it has gotten out of balance,

Fourth annual Apple Run/Walk 

deemed a success 

NORTH BROOKFIELD — The fourth annual 5-mile Apple 

Run/Walk for diabetes was held Saturday, Nov. 7 at Brookfield 

Orchards on a beautiful sunny day, and was a great success. 

The race is organized and directed by a combined effort of the 

Lions Club of the Brookfields and the North Brookfield Youth 

Center. Volunteers from both organizations were busy throughout 

the morning helping to register participants, man water stations, 

and direct runners on the course. The North Brookfield 

Emergency Management Team was present to ensure the safety 

of all runners and walkers. 

Money was raised for the Clara Barton Diabetes Camp for girls 

in North Oxford and the Diabetes Research Team at UMass 

Medical Center. Representatives from the Barton Camp were 

present to provide information about their facility, and to cheer 

on the participants. 

The finishers were:

Tantasqua rocks the boat with ‘Guys and Dolls’ staging 

GUYS & DOLLS 

continued from page 1 

gamblers, sinners and the 

sanctimonious “Guys and 

Dolls,” joins the ranks of 

past Tantasqua productions, 

boasting flashy costumery, 

elaborate sets maintained by 

an extensive stage crew, skillfully 

choreographed and executed 

musical numbers, and 

in this case, even a trip to 

Cuba. 

“This is just cementing the 

Tantasqua reputation,” for 

quality productions, said 

Jonathan Costello. 

A senior, Costello played 

Obadiah “Sky” Masterson — 

once portrayed on the silver 

screen by the iconically cool 

Marlon Brando — alongside 

stellar performances by 

Joseph Conceison as the 

nervous gambling promoter 

Nathan Detroit and his love 

interest Miss Adelaide, 

played by Taylor Roy, as well 

as the saintly Sarah Brown, 

played by Samantha Stagias 

and the shifty, but loyal 

Nicely Johnson, played by 

Cian Ashworth. 

“It’s right up there with 

everything we’ve done,” 

Costello said following the 

opening night performance. 

“I believe this is right up 

there with ‘RENT,’ ‘South 

Pacific,’ ‘Aida.’” 

Deeply entrenched in the 

Tantasqua theatre for years, 

Costello had mixed emotions 

on his last first night on the 

high school stage. 

“You love and you hate it at 

the same time,” he said, 

proud of his accomplishments 

at Tantasqua, but 

already missing the thrill of 

performing. 

“It’s definitely the end of 

an era for me,” he said. 

Costello’s mother, 

Christine, served as producer 

and musical director for 

the show. 

“This kids did a wonderful 

job,” she said following the 

first performance. 

Christine Costello said the 

biggest challenge in putting 

on Guys and Dolls was working 

out the dance numbers 

with such a large group. 

Almost a dozen dancers as 

well as the 25-plus-person 

cast were seamlessly supported 

by the 16-member pit 

band, which included 

Christine Costello 

herself on piano and 

an array of student 

and teacher musicians 

alongside a few 

musical friends of the 

Tantasqua theater. 

“The kids were really 

tight,” said Eric 

von Bleicken, theatrical 

and artistic director. 

“I couldn’t be happier.” 

Von Bleicken said 

the breakneck pace at 

which the production 

was put together left 

him exhausted by 

opening night, but 

that the end result 

was well worth it. 

As Miss Adelaide, 

the leader of the Hot 

Box dancers, Taylor 

Roy was also happy 

with the way things 

came together by 

show time. 

“We didn’t have as 

much time as we 

would have liked,” 

Roy said, explaining 

that rehearsals only 

began in September, 

after the start of the 

school year. 

“For two months, I 

think it really came 

together great,” she said. “It 

went really smoothly.” 

Also having participated in 

past productions of “RENT” 

and “Aida,” Roy said she was 

excited over the fact that a 

show like “Guys and Dolls” 

would attract a more diverse 

audience. 

“I think it’s great to do 

such a classic Broadway 

show,” she said.

he lovely Miss Adelaide, played by Taylor 

Roy, sang the woes of being in love with an 

unreliable guy.

The “Save a Soul,” Salvation Army band, led by Sister Sarah Brown, played by Samantha Stagias, made it 

their mission to convert all the sinners of New York. 

The Havana dancers lit up the Cuban cantina with a provocative, and mischievous, dance number.

Guida: Audit was better barometer 

of job than evaluations 

GUIDA 


acting chairman for a few 

weeks as Cloutier recuperated 

from a pulmonary 

embolism, then earned a 

one-year term as chairman 

after the election. 

“If I knew that I would 

end up with the board I 

ended up with less than 60 

days after I was hired, I 

wouldn’t have taken the 

job,” Guida told the New 

Leader Monday, Nov. 23. 

Berthiaume, Fancher 

and Durant were Guida’s 

harshest critics in selectmen’s 

first evaluation of 

him over the summer. 

Fancher faulted Guida for 

not telling the board about 

going out to bid for renovations 

to Memorial Town 

Hall, while Berthiaume 

claimed Guida did not keep 

the board up to date on 

“substantial issues.” 

Berthiaume also made a 

comment he claimed was 

in jest about Guida’s tendency 

to wear plaid ties. 

Durant, who cast the 

lone vote against Guida 

when he was hired, gave 

him a 0.5 rating for leadership. 

Durant claimed 

Guida failed to tell town 

employees that work had 

been canceled during last 

December’s ice storm. 

“I never commented on 

the evaluation because I 

told the members of the 

public and the board that I 

wasn’t going to make a 

comment, like I was entitled 

to by contract and by 

general practice, until I 

met with the Board of 

Selectmen and had the 

interviews with each one 

of them,” Guida said. 

“Unfortunately, two of the 

members of the board 

chose never to sit down and 

talk to me.” 

Guida declined to give 

the two selectmen’s names. 

“It’s over,” he said. “The 

working relationship is not 

there between me and the 

Board of Selectmen. 

There’s a lack of faith and 

respect on both ends. We 

both own part of the problem. 

I acknowledge that I 

own part of the problem, 

but I have had members of 

the Board of Selectmen, 

current members of the 

board and past members of 

the board, tell me as early 

as August 2008 that members 

of the Board of 

Selectmen were out to terminate 

me and I should 

leave town as fast as possible. 

“I chose to do my job 

because I like the town of 

Spencer,” Guida continued, 

“but at this time the reason 

why I made my decision 

was basically half personal 

and half professional. ... 

If I were getting along better 

with the board, I probably 

would have stood out 

my year [left in his threeyear 

contract]. I probably 

wouldn’t have gone beyond 

that.” 

Rather than focusing on 

his evaluation, Guida said 

he considers the town’s 

most recent audit, done by 

South Deerfield-based 

Scanlon and Associates, to 

be a better barometer of 

his performance as town 


The management letter 

(dated Oct. 16) highlighted 

only one area of concern 

from previous years that 

had not been resolved: producing 

an accounting policies 

and procedures manual, 

but the town has put 

aside money to hire a consultant 

to do that. 

The auditors also suggested 

drafting a written 

policy for which employees 

would be required to have 

cellular phones and how 

they would be reimbursed 

for them. 

“I think the audit was a 

good audit, particularly 

since I had some big 

turnover in my first year,” 

Guida said, noting that a 

new administrative assistant 

for his office, Utilities 

and Facilities superintendent 

and town planner were 

hired shortly after he started. 

“The management letter 

and the audit report is 

more telling of my administration 

than the board’s 

evaluation,” Guida said. 

“Two of them never sat 

down and went over their 

evaluation. That speaks 

volumes.” 

As for the possibility of a 

severance payment, that 

will be up to the Board of 

Selectmen. Since Guida 

resigned from his post, his 

contract states the town is 

only responsible for paying 

his regular salary until his 

last day of work, along 

with unused sick time “and 

other benefits of value.” 

If he were fired or forced 

out, Guida would then 

receive a severance payment 

equal to 90 days’ 

salary, unused sick time 

“and other benefits of 

value.” The town would 

also provide health insurance 

for 90 days after his 

final day of work, unless 

he finds a new job sooner. 

Before he became 

Spencer’s second town 

administrator, Guida 

served three years as town 

manager in Millbury. He 

resigned in the summer of 

2007 after what selectmen 

there called a “strained” 

relationship with the 

board. 

Guida said he gave eight 

months’ notice to selectmen 

in Spencer, as opposed 

to the 90-day notice 

required in his contract, so 

he could “work with them 

so that they could go and 

hire a new administrator 

by the new board after the 

election this spring. My 

goal was to do my job as the 

board went and hired a 

new administrator after 

the election. It didn’t 

work.” 

Selectmen have decided 

(and Guida has agreed) 

that his final day will be 

not June 30, as stated in his 

resignation letter, but 

rather Feb. 28. Town 

Planner Adam Gaudette 

will serve as interim town 

administrator until a permanent 

successor is hired. 

“My only regret is that 

I’m leaving a few things 

undone,” Guida said. “And 

I really liked working for 

the public. I had no problems 

with the public. Like 

most of my jobs, most of 

my problems were with 

elected officials.”

Leicester cheerleaders find 

meaning in ‘Win, win, win’ 

CHEER 


ber Jacob Marois has made the 

cheerleading squad even 

stronger, including in competition. 

“He has been a amazing addition 

[this season],” said 

Montigny. “There is now dedication 

and energy.” 

Now as a co-ed team, she said, 

the Wolverines are only able to 

compete against other co-ed 

teams. 

“There are more options now 

[at tournaments], but sometimes 

it makes things a little more difficult,” 

said Montigny. 

She said the team showcases 


Marois’ abilities at competitions, 

which is tricky sometimes, 

but a great way to make a 

team stronger. 

Team members see Marois as 

one of the squad’s strong points 

as well. 

“We think he has the most 

sprit,” said senior Briana Hoar. 

“He helps get us noticed at competitions 

too.” 

The team is very happy this 

year to be doing so well, but that 

is not the only thing members 

have enjoyed. 

“We have gotten a lot of 

respect from the school,” said 

Hoar. “We are not looked at as 

just another sport. We’re not a 

joke anymore.”

Voters again postpone action on tougher marijuana bylaw 

STM 


Bourdeau. He owns the building at 3 Post 

Road (Route 9) that houses the Police 

Department. 

Selectman Peter O’Connell said the lease 

would be for three years, with options by the 

town to renew it for up to two more years. He 

said Monday night the starting point for 

negotiations would be for the town to spend 

“a small amount more” for rent than it is now 

paying. 

The current lease for the police station 

expires in August, and town officials wanted 

to make sure they explored all possible 

options (and followed state law) before deciding 

to extend the lease. 

The Interim Police Station Committee 

asked more than 60 owners of property within 

2 miles of Town Hall to consider leasing or 

selling their land, along with any buildings, 

to the town. Seven proposals were received, 

according to a Nov. 17 report by committee 

chairman O’Connell; six were offers to sell, 

and the seventh was a proposal to either lease 

or sell. Three of the plans were selectmen for 

further review, O’Connell wrote. 

The committee recommended not buying 

any of the parcels for use as an interim police 

station for the next three to five years 

because of the cost. 

“We recommend that the Board of 

Selectmen move as quickly as possible to 

present a proposal to meet the long-term 

needs of the Police to the voters by either renovating 

a Town-owned property or to purchase 

and renovate another available property 

for use as a police station for the next 20 

years or more,” O’Connell wrote. “Current 

market conditions suggest that it would be 

highly advantageous for the Town to acquire 

property at advantageous prices and/or to 

renovate properties that are currently available, 

but [may] not be in a year.” 

The committee did identify three parcels 

that could be a permanent home for the 

police station, O’Connell said. 

Renewing the lease for 3 Post Road for three 

more years, with 

options for a fourth 

and fifth year, he 

wrote, “is intended to 

give the Town sufficient 

time to choose a 

solution for the longterm 

needs of the 

Police.” 

At this time, 

O’Connell told Town 

Meeting voters, “we don’t have anyplace for 

the police” to go temporarily when the lease 

expires in August. 

“Right now I don’t see any choice but to 

extend the lease,” the selectman said. 

NO ACTION ON BYLAWS 

For the second straight time, voters postponed 

action on a proposal to toughen the 

town’s marijuana laws by prohibiting its use 

in public areas and increasing the fine for 

violators from the state limit of $100. 

Advisory Committee members and 

Selectmen Chairman Rudy Heller said bylaw 

changes should be presented at the Annual 

Town Meeting, not a Special Town Meeting 

that is usually attended by far fewer people. 

Monday night’s session brought 50 registered 

voters to the Banquet Hall at Brookfield 

Town Hall. 

Article 7 would have set the fine for using 

marijuana in a public place at $300 and given 

police the power to go after people who do not 

pay it. That, Acting Police Chief Christopher 

Welsh said, could be added to the $100 fine for 

possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana 

— a penalty approved by voters at last year’s 

presidential election as Question 2. The law 

does not provide any recourse for people who 

do not pay the fine, Welsh said. 

James Cooke, reiterating the argument he 

gave at the May Annual Town Meeting, said 

Question 2 resolved the issue of possessing 

small amounts of marijuana. He added that 

the people most likely to pay the fine would 

be “parents of wayward teenagers” who 

could not afford $300. 

Also passed over Monday night was Article 

8, which would have outlawed public consumption 

of alcoholic beverages on the town 

common and in town-owned parks, cemeteries 

and streets. The maximum fine would be 

$300. 

Heller and the Advisory Committee gave 

the same reason for postponing action on 

Article 8: it should be decided at the Annual 

Town Meeting. 

When asked if lakes were considered public 

ways, and if the new bylaw would penalize 

people who drink a beer (or another alcoholic 

beverage) while ice, Welsh responded, 

“Technically, yes.” 

BUDGET QUESTIONS 

Also approved at Monday night’s Town 

Meeting were requests to: 

• Close the budget deficit for this year by 

reducing six accounts a total of $40,321, 

including $12,274 for the town’s assessment to 

the Tantasqua Regional School District. 

• Transfer $33,567 from two accounts to buy 

a new police cruiser, and either sell or trade 

in the department’s 2002 Ford Crown 

Victoria. 

• Take $45,000 from the Fleet Stabilization 

Account and put it in the Highway 

Department Vehicle Acquisition Account. 

• Transfer $3,700 to pay salaries for parttime 

workers at the Highway Department, 

along with $2,200 for overtime. 

• Create a new Repair Private Roads 

Account and transfer $1 from the Selectmen’s 

Expense Account to fund it. 

• Transfer $6 from the Assessors Expense 

Account to pay a bill from the Registry of 

Deeds from fiscal 2009. 

• Transfer $3,000 into the Fire Department’s 

Asset Repair/Replacement Account to fix 

what Fire Chief Peter Martell called “a couple 

of minor issues” and start the process for 

resolving another issue. 

• Transfer $800 to pay for computer security 

and “related purposes” at Town Hall.

Towns bringing back 

winter parking bans 

With winter on its way, parking bans 

will make their return in North 

Brookfield and Leicester. 

North Brookfield’s ban, which started 

Nov. 20, calls for vehicles not to be 

parked on town streets from 1-6 a.m. 

Warnings will be issued when the 

weather is not severe, officials said, but 

when the snow does fly violators will 

face a $25 fine. 

Leicester’s parking ban goes into 

effect Dec. 1, and calls for no vehicles to 

be parked on town streets from 1-7 a.m. 

between Dec. 1 and April 1. Parking is 

also banned at any time when more 

than 4 inches of snow falls. Chief of 

Police James Hurley warned that tickets 

would be issued for anyone who does 

not follow the parking ban.

Tantasqua lays out options for recouping cuts 

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY 


STURBRIDGE — In the wake of 

an $18 million reduction in regional 

school district transportation 

handed down from Beacon Hill 

recently, the Tantasqua Regional 

School District is weighing two 

very heavy options in attempts to 

offset their share of that burden. 

According to Tantasqua 

Superintendent Daniel G. Durgin, 

the district’s state reimbursement 

for transportation has been 

reduced from almost complete to 

only 29 percent over the last year. 

This most recent reduction equates 

to a loss of $226,000 on top of more 

than $140,000 that was cut from the 

district earlier in the summer. 

As fees cannot be charged for 

regional transport, Durgin said a 

portion of that difference would 

have to be made up through the five 

district towns’ assessments. 

“I did send out a letter to the 

towns, all five communities,” 

Durgin said at a meeting of the 

Tantasqua Regional School 

Committee on Tuesday, Nov. 17. “I 

kind of warned them of the new 

assessments based on these figures 

to prepare them a little for what’s 

coming on the towns’ side.” 

Durgin went on to explain the 

two options facing the district to 

make up the remainder of the cost. 

The decision of which option will 

be pursued is ultimately up to the 

Tantasqua Teachers Association. 

Under what Durgin called 

“option A,” $18,000 in stimulus 

funds from Title 1 and $27,000 from 

special education, as well as $20,000 

from Medicaid, would be redirected 

to transportation. 

New purchases of library materials 

would be halted and four cocurricular 

activities would be cut 

from the school under option A, 

too. 

Junior varsity cheerleading, 

freshman basketball for boys and 

girls and the Quabbin Music 

Festival would all be on the chopping 

block. 

Another activity — the 

Tantasqua Ski Club — would no 

longer be funded by the school, but 

rather by money generated by the 

club’s own activities. 

Durgin said the decision was 

made to eliminate the first group of 

activities because he does not see it 

as a viable option to charge fees for 

those groups. 

The last caveat of option A is for 

teachers to take a furlough day on 

what is currently scheduled as a 

professional development day in 

March. 

A furlough on that day alone 

would save the district $63,000 in 

salary dollars and an additional 

$12,000 in other expenses. 

Option B, Durgin said, is available 

in case the teachers’ association 

opts not to take the furlough. 

Central office staff, Durgin said, 

will take the furlough no matter 

what. 

Under option B, the professional 

development day would be held inhouse 

with no special guests or 

extravagancies. 

Salary reductions for certain 

staff members may also be necessary 

under scenario B, including 

non-certified technical instructors 

and a long-term substitute. 

That substitute is filling in for a 

teacher currently on maternity 

leave, who requested an extension 

of leave through the end of the 

school year. That position will not 

be filled during the second half of 

the school year. 

Per the school’s practices right 

now, only select disciplines in the 

technical school’s course offering 

participate in cooperative working 

arrangements. As part of option B, 

students who are not in those programs 

may still be eligible for coops, 

getting them temporarily out 

of the building, accommodating 

the possible reduction in the technical 

school. 

Similar arrangements may also 

be made in the junior high school, 

which would result in a combination 

of remedial reading classes 

under the supervision of one Title 

1 certified teacher. 

Following the discussion of the 

two directions the district can take 

on the issue, member Francis 

Simanski of Sturbridge thanked 

the Tantasqua teachers for even 

considering taking a furlough day. 

“There are no villains here,” 

Simanski said, explaining the 

blame for these maneuvers does 

not fall on the shoulders of anyone 

in the district. “If there are villains, 

they’re in Boston.” 

At the end of the meeting, James 

Cooke of Brookfield motioned that 

Durgin send a letter to Gov. Deval 

Patrick expressing the district’s 

dismay over the recent cut. 

Durgin said he had already 

reached out to the governor as well 

as local representatives and senators, 

but that he would do so again. 

“I’ve already expressed my individual 

displeasure,” Cooke said, 

“but I think it carries a little more 

power when it comes from all of 

us.”

Congregational Church of Spencer, U.C.C., 

207 Main St. (Route 9), Spencer. All are invited 

to attend and experience the gift of the 

congregation’s ecumenically minded healing 

ministry this Christmas season. This ministry 

is quite different from others that you 

may have seen before, and is very sensitive to 

providing support for mind, body and spirit. 

The service will feature hymns, scripture, 

prayers, a litany of forgiveness, musical and 

guided meditation. There will also be five 

“stations for healing,” where ministries such 

as anointing, symbolic washing and renewal, 

candle lighting, “nailing notes to the 

cross” and one-on-one prayer will be offered. 

People attending the service are invited to 

visit any of the stations that they would like, 

or to just observe. The service will conclude 

with Holy Communion, which is open to all 

who attend. For more information, call (508) 

885-2149 or visit www.spencerchurch.org.

Millbury Ford Mercury celebrates 

over 86 years in business! 

We’ve got a few reasons to celebrate! 

-Millbury Ford Mercury has been a part of 

this community for over 86 years. We’ve sold and 

serviced Ford and Mercury cars, trucks and suv’s 

to local businesses, friends, neighbors and relatives. 

-We’ve employed hundreds of hard working 

people over our 86 years. Your purchases; past, 

present and future contribute to our economy on 

a local and national level. Please buy American. 

It helps us all! 

-We’ve sold the finest vehicles built by Ford Motor Co. 

for over 86 years. We welcome anyone to come test drive 

our great lineup of new cars and trucks then compare them 

to the competition. From the all new 2010 Taurus or fuel 

efficient Fusion Hybrid and Focus to the redesigned F150, 

we think you’ll be very pleased. 

-We’re proud to have been owned by the 

Bordeaux family for over 86 years! Our partner- 

Ford Motor Co. also deserves a lot of credit for 

staying the course over the past few years in this 

tough economy. They didn’t take the bail out 

money! Instead, they’ve worked hard to give the 

American people a great product at a fair price. 

We applaud them. 

-Today, there is new momentum at Ford. We 

invite you to drive with us into the future. Drive 

green. Drive smart. Drive attractive. Drive quality 

you can believe in. For more information visit 

thefordstory.com 

-Come see why we’ve been in business for over 86 

years. We’re celebrating with our Year End Clearance 

Sale.

Aut motive 

Ten for 2010 

Looking for a great new vehicle for a new decade? Read on. 

BY KEITH GRIFFIN 

The automotive industry may have 

had a rough ride for the last year or 

two, but for consumers looking to 

buy a new car this year, there’s 

plenty of good of news – in short, a 

wide range of options that run the 

gamut from innovative styling to 

unbelievable gas mileage. And 

many new cars are available at an 

extremely reasonable price point. 

In 2010, the challenge for me as an 

automotive writer is not to find 10 

vehicles to feature, but to narrow it 

down to 10. This is going to be a 

great year for new automobiles. So, 

with the new year approaching and 

the auto show season commencing, 

let’s look at some of the more 

important models coming in 2010. 

2010 Honda Accord Crosstour 

It’s too bad this is a relatively lowproduction 

vehicle for Honda. The 

company only plans to build about 

40,000 of this five-door, five-passenger 

premium CUV, which is based 

on the Honda Accord (that sells 

about 400,000 annually). Frankly, 

and other auto journalists agree, I 

think it’s the most compelling vehicle 

to come from Honda in a few 

years. This is not a big looking 

vehicle from the outside, even with 

its 196.8-inch length, but it is 

roomy inside. Its engine puts out 

271 horsepower at 6,200 RPM and 

254 lb-ft. of torque at 5,000 RPM. 

Pricing for the Crosstour starts at 

$29,670 for the base model with 

two-wheel drive. You’re going to 

have spend $34,020 for a base model 

with all-wheel drive. 

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid 

Simply put, this is the best hybrid 

on the market right now. It’s the 

most practical of the hybrid 

sedans and gets great gas mileage 

at 41 mpg city and 37 mpg highway. 

Plus, there’s the fact that (under 

the right conditions) the Fusion 

Hybrid can be driven solely on 

electric power, up to 47 mph. If you 

commute to work on local streets, 

you could get there and back without 

the gas engine ever kicking in 

(assuming no jackrabbit starts and 

a relatively flat drive). The Toyota 

Prius gets better numbers, but the 

Fusion Hybrid is just a better overall 

car. 

2011 Ford Transit Connect BEV 

You might already be familiar with 

this stylish right-size cargo van 

that was brought over from 

Europe. Well, Ford makes this 

vehicle 10 times more desirable for 

small business in 2010 with the 

introduction of a version that is 

entirely battery powered. The battery-electric 

vehicle has a range of 

up to 100 miles, making it a useful 

hauler, with reduced operation and 

maintenance costs over the long 

haul. During a press intro of the 

Transit Connect in New York City, 

one shop owner told me that he 

wasn’t going to buy the Transit 

Connect until the battery-electric 

version came out. Here’s hoping a 

passenger van equivalent is sold. 

2011 Kia Sorrento 

Kia has firmly set its sights on 

becoming a mainstream manufacturer 

with the Sorrento. This 

crossover utility vehicle is night 

and day when compared to its predecessor. 

Put on a blindfold and you 

The Mazda2 is being introduced at the LA Auto Show. It’s been popular overseas and 

was even named World Car of the Year. 

The Suzuki Kizashi needs to be a hit for the Japanese automaker to continue to do well 

in the U.S. market. Early indications are it will be. 

would never think you were in a 

Kia. The Korean manufacturer has 

opened a stunning new facility in 

Georgia to build the Sorrento. 

Plus, to demonstrate its confidence, 

Kia is targeting the 

Chevrolet Equinox, also a former 

ugly duckling in the crossover 

market, as a primary competitor. 

The 2011 Sorento offers two 

engines: a 2.4-liter four-cylinder 

engine outputting 172 horsepower 

or a larger 3.5-liter V6 providing a 

class-leading 273 horsepower. No 

prices released yet, but it will be 

competitive with the current price 

of the 2009 model that starts at 

$21,545. 

2010 Suzuki Kizashi 

This is a make-or-break product for 

Suzuki. The Japanese manufacturer, 

which enjoys great success in 

every country except the U.S., desperately 

needs a winner. Early 

indications are this is four-door 

sedan is up to the task. This is 

Suzuki’s first foray into the allwheel 

drive sport sedan market, 

which makes this car instantly 

appealing to those of us in New 

England who like to have fun 12 

months a year. Pricing for a nicely 

equipped version with all-wheel 

drive is going to be around $21,749. 

2010 Porsche Panamera 

To purists, it’s a sign of the 

Apocalypse that Porsche has come 

out with a four-door sedan. They 

need to get over that belief quickly. 

In brief laps around Pocono 

Raceway, I found this to be an 

exhilarating car that is 100 percent 

Porsche. Finally, one can drive a 

Porsche sedan – which means you 

have a vehicle to safely carry the 

kids, and you still get to be a 

Porsche owner. By the way, 

Porsche SUVs are the true sacrilege. 

Sedans seem to almost make 

sense. It is initially offered in three 

versions – the 400-horsepower twowheel 

drive Panamera S and allwheel 

drive Panamera 4S, and the 

500-horsepower, twin-turbocharged 

all-wheel drive 

Panamera Turbo. Fuel economy is 

rated at a combined fuel economy 

of 26 mpg and pricing starts at 

$89,900 for the two-wheel drive 

Panamera S. 

2011 Chevrolet Cruze 

Chevrolet has already experienced 

a winner with its Equinox. Now it 

reaches into the international 

parts bin and brings the Cruze to 

the U.S. The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze 

is an all-new, compact sedan with 

coupe-like design proportions; 

midsize-like interior and trunk 

space; and great fuel efficiency. It 

goes on sale in the United States 

and Canada in 2010. Cruze will be 

powered by an optional new 1.4L 

turbocharged engine expected to 

deliver 40 mpg highway. An efficient 

1.8L engine and a family of 

six-speed transmissions will also 

be offered. No price is available yet 

for this car that comes out in the 

third quarter. Price? 

2011 Honda CR-Z 

Honda brings some excitement to 

the hybrid driving experience with 

the CR-Z. Introduced as a concept 

at the Tokyo Auto Show, the production 

version that will be introduced 

to North America in the second 

half of 2010 will be packaged 

as a two-seat hybrid for North 

American customers. It will have a 

1.5-liter engine and be the first 

hybrid on the market to come 

equipped with a six-speed manual 

transmission. Like the Cruze, 

price is not available yet. Best 

guess at this point would be in the 

mid-$20,000 range to start. 

2011 Bentley Mulsanne 

It’s difficult to imagine where to 

begin when describing the 

Mulsanne because everything 

about it screams elegance. 

Underneath the hood sits a 6.75- 

liter (or six and three-quarter liter 

in ‘Bentley speak’), a V8 that is currently 

rated at 503 horsepower 

with an eye-popping 752 lb-ft of 

torque that reaches its peak at a 

low 1,800 rpm on the rear-wheel 

drive sedan that sits on 20-inch 

tires. With ultra-high luxury 

comes the expectation of the latest 

technology, and the Mulsanne does 

not disappoint. It has a multimedia 

system with 40 GB hard capacity 

that runs the satellite navigation, 

audio/video, personal data, telephone 

and Bluetooth connectivity. 

The dash has an 8-inch multimedia 

screen that sits behind an electrically 

operated veneered door. 

Below it is a leather-lined MP3- 

player storage drawer. 

2011 Mazda2 

What’s noticeable about the 

Mazda2 is that it was the World Car 

of the Year in 2008 – but that world 

didn’t include the U.S. until now. 

Expected to hit our shores later 

this year, the subcompact has been 

a sales and media success in markets 

around the world, winning 

more than 50 awards and being 

named Car of the Year in more 

than 20 countries. So, what are we, 

chopped liver? No, it’s a case of 

Americans not liking small cars, 

but it seems smart that Mazda is 

willing to take the gamble. It won 

the award because it was a subcompact 

that presented a cuttingedge 

design. As one journalist put 

it, “The Mazda2 comes with economy 

and emissions but the Mazda is 

also strong dynamically and has a 

great chassis.”
