BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY NEWS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE – The sun shone all weekend as Sturbridge celebrated its 19th annual Harvest Festival. Held on the Sturbridge Town Common and the adjacent Publick House grounds, the autumn favorite attracted people from throughout the commonwealth and Connecticut who enjoyed everything from food to music and even a little bit of the unexpected. Route 131 was lined with cars on either side as folks milled around the festival. At the Publick House, kids could test gravity in a moon bounce and an inflatable castle. Midway games, offering stuffed prizes for landing balls in cups and bursting balloons with darts added to the nostalgic feel of the old-time New England fair, while a miniature train escorted youngsters through the grounds, giving them a peek at Above: Owner Chris Rovezzi, left, and everything that was offered.

WARRIORS SOCCER SQUAD UPENDS SOUTHBRIDGE, 6-1

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — It was fit- ting that on Senior Night for the Tantasqua boys’ soccer team, five of their six goals came from soon-to-be gradu- ates. David Cardoso, Matt Mailhot, Ryan Waters, D.J. Salisbury,Ryan King and soph- omore Tyler Allen all scored for the Warriors last night, as they were able to beat Southbridge 6-1. “These guys did very well,” Tantasqua coach Keith Ventimiglia said. “I got every- one playing time, and they con- trolled it. They had a nice game of possession.” Early in the contest, Southbridge lost Rafeal Rosado to an apparent leg injury, and he was not able to return. Coach Thom Laine, already short on players, had to play a good portion of the game with only 10 players on the field. “I think the fact that we lost Rosado was definitely a prob- lem,” Laine said. “He’s a key player.” After the injury, Tantasqua played their best soccer for a Nick Ethier photos 10-minute stretch, scoring Above left: Pioneer Matt Losavio gets ready to deliver into a free kick with a big right foot.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER LEICESTER — The Shepherd Hill golf team headed into yesterday’s match undefeated. This time, instead of facing only one other opponent, a total of 12 teams took the course at Leicester Country Club for the Southern Worcester County League Championship. Once again the Rams came out on top, shooting a team score of 312. Shepherd Hill also took home the individual medal- ist, as Matt Schmidt shot an even par 70. “Matt just strives to be the best he can be every time he plays,” Shepherd Hill coach Scott Aucoin said. “He drove the ball unbelievably. He hit almost every fair- way.” Aucoin was hoping for a top finish in the contest, but knew things wouldn’t be easy with tough teams like Auburn, Grafton and host Nick Ethier photos school Leicester in the Above: Southbridge’s Scott Lynch watches his ball roll.

2009 Ford Escape Hybrid Continues To Make a Good SUV Even More Fuel Efficient

By Keith Griffin

There’s an interesting debate going on among a motor press group I belong to: what should be the family car of the year? Until gasoline started dropping recent- ly, my pick would have been the 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, family efficiency and fuel effi- ciency. There’s also a heaping measure of safety thrown in for good measure, too. The 2009 Ford Escape has a new, 171-hp, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with intake variable cam timing (i-VCT) for enhanced fuel economy and performance. The The 2009 Ford Escape Hybrid has improved its fuel economy for 2009 – and it was already pretty good to start. new engine gains 1 mpg in high- way fuel economy when equipped ther. mission exclusively in place of Standard on all Escape models is with the new six-speed transmis- The Escape features new low- the four-speed automatic used an anti-lock braking system and sion, as compared to the previous rolling-resistance tires, devel- previously.
