I know it makes a dif- ference to a lot of people.” One of the people who knows the summer league makes a difference to the young athletes is Nick McCarthy, coach of the Auburn girls’ 3-5 team, which captured their divisional championship. “Dean just does a great job,” McCarthy said. “I think it was our fifth or sixth summer out here.” McCarthy enjoys watching the Dean Packard is the head of the Dudley- young girls develop their skills in Charlton Summer Basketball League, preparation for the winter season. which just wrapped up its 18th year.

But basketball is life for Packard, so the league originator and admin- istrator doesn’t mind doing it all by himself. “They give me a lot of autonomy to look over things,” he said. Packard is certainly doing the right things, as teams from Woodstock to Spencer, Wachusett to North Brookfield, and Southbridge to Marlboro all travel to the courts each weekend for games. “Essentially that’s what it’s all about,” he said of bringing the entire family along to enjoy the day. The girls’ 8-10 crown was taken by Dudley. “There’s no other place to be. It’s family time.” And the league is really for any basketball player, from the most skilled youth all the way to a begin- ner just learning how to play the game. “A lot of these teams have played travel league basketball,” Packard explained. “Also, it’s a venue for kids that have never played basketball before.

Camaro late to the Muscle Car resurgence, but Chevy has a winner on its hands

By Keith Griffin

We’re in the midst of a mus- cle car resurgence in the U.S. auto market. First on the scene was the Ford Mustang, then we had both the Dodge Charger and Challenger, and finally, we have the Chevy Camaro. For a lot of auto enthusiasts, the best was saved for last. But not every auto enthusiast has been won over by the Camaro. OK, maybe I’m the only auto enthusiast. I’m just not able to proclaim the Camaro as the greatest thing since sliced bread. It’s good, but it’s not great. Leading my complaint list would be the fact that it’s a dif- ficult car to drive because it is lacking in visibility. Its tiny windows and sloping roof fore and aft make it difficult to see where you’re going (forget about stop lights). The 2010 Chevy Camaro is a stunning car that turns heads everywhere it goes. It is totally lacking in interi- or space. I understand produces 304 horsepower and uation where you would want hasn’t seen “Transformers.”) cramped quarters in a sports 273 lb. ft. of torque.
