HANDFIELD: $4.4M PLAN INCLUDES CUTS

BY TERESA A. FRANCO NEWS STAFF WRITER AUBURN — What school elements should be spared the brunt of the fiscal crisis became a debated topic at the School Committee’s Monday, Dec. 21 meeting. The discussion started during high school Principal Casey Handfield’s budget pro- posal. During the presen- tation, Handfield said he had to hold off on getting $16,000 worth of chem- istry books because of fis- cal restraints. He said the current textbooks, which are nearing 10 years old, are “not in horrible shape” and could last another year. He also said some books would be replaced with the $47,000 Handfield in federal stimulus dol- lars the entire school Teresa A.

The beginning of this strong and led the Rockets 41-18 at lead. The second half was more of the same from different sources. Tantasqua coach Mark Muska was able to get his bench players some valuable minutes, and they stepped up and performed. Joe LeMay scored 10 points off the bench, while Jaylen Dottin added six. “We got everybody a lot of time and we played well,” said Muska. “The bench played well, they ran our offensive sets and they did what was asked of them.” At the end of the game it was the stifling defense of the Warriors that really got the transition game going and put the game out of reach of the Rockets. “We pressed and we did some dif- ferent things on defense, and I think that helped our offense,” said Muska. “It was definitely a team effort.” Gubitose finished with a game- high 22 points, followed by Lucas, who added 12. For the Rockets it was sophomore guard Fred Taylor Jr. and senior guard Antonio Leatham Shawn Kelley photos who led the team with nine and Auburn's Fred Taylor Jr. stays on Tantasqua's Jaylen Dottin. eight points respectively. Muska was pleased with his team’s effort: “They have guards Tantasqua's Jake Gubitose brings the ball in as Auburn's Antonio Leetham waits on who can handle the ball pretty well his move. and we figured out that we couldn’t let them penetrate and that’s how we stopped them.” the He was equally as pleased with his star player’s ability to score as he was with his team’s mentality and hustle throughout the game. At one point in the second quarter when Tantasqua was already up double digits, Lucas dove across the floor to secure a loose ball and call a timeout. It was this type of play that energized the team and showed what kind of attitude Muska has instilled in his players. “That’s the team mentality,” the coach said, “and that’s what hap- pens when you get several football players on your basketball team.” For Auburn, the game was a tough test that did not end as they had hoped. “All their guys, even the guys that come off the bench, understand how to play,” said Auburn coach Andrew Niedzwiecki. The Tantasqua team, while not full of seniors, has a good amount of experience and that always helps. “They move the ball well and all five guys on the court were always on the same page,” said Niedzwiecki, “and I think that comes with experience. We have a young team and that hurt us tonight.” For the Tantasqua Warriors, the season looks promising. “Our real expectation is to get to the Districts, and that’s what we are setting our goal on,” said Muska, whose team started off on the right track. After two wins to start the season, Tantasqua will look to stay unde- feated at home against Northbridge at 7 tonight, Dec. 22. Auburn's Alex Butcher takes a shot.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

The Ford Fusion Hybrid is one of the finalists for the Internet Car of the Year, an award jury that I created. The winner will be announced during the Chicago Auto Show media days Feb. 10-11. (Go to www.internetcarandtruck- oftheyear.com for complete info on the awards.) The Fusion Hybrid is a deserving contender for this award, which was voted on by 12 of the leading Internet automotive writers from across the U.S., because it is a game changer in the hybrid vehi- cle field. Simply put, it’s the best hybrid on the market because it’s the best sedan with a hybrid pow- ertrain. Let me qualify that statement somewhat. I have not driven the third-generation Toyota Prius yet. However, based on what oth- ers have written and the fact that it’s not a finalist for Internet Car of the Year, I’m still going to stand by belief. The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is probably the best overall hybrid sedan on the market. What’s got me convinced is how effortless it is to achieve strong weather had been warmer, it has could provide for an uncomfort- Curb weight: 3720 lbs. fuel economy while not depriving an electric air-conditioning com- able driving experience.
