Wondering if advertising works??? See what our customers have to say; their words speak for themselves.

I have learned by experience that local advertising pays off. You need to focus adver- tising in your core business area, so that your clients are reminded that you are still out there and are doing well. Also, people new to the area will become familiar with your business if you advertise weekly. Being involved in the Tri-Community area through business, little league and other activities is very important to me. The Stonebridge Press offers local publications that have news pertinent to their communities and fit my needs for local advertising. Steve Brunelle, President (508) 347-9116 (508) 347-2309

After working successfully as an auto-body shop manager for several local companies, Steve Brunelle opened Steve’s Collision Center in 1985 in Sturbridge.

BY JOY RICHARD STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER OXFORD — Surviving means never look- ing back, according to one Oxford resident who recently walked in the Avon Walk for Breast for the second year in a row. Stacey Hamel a two-year breast cancer survivor and her husband Greg decided to give back to the cancer treatment communi- ty and raise money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, which began and ended at the UMass Hospital campus. This year there were more than 2,500 par- ticipants in the walk and more than $5.8 mil- lion was raised for the cause. Stacey said she and Greg walked across the finished line as two of the top 25 walkers and the second day they were in the top 40. “We walked very well this year,” said Stacey during an interview with the Webster Times last week. “It is not a race but we moved, it was amazing.” Stacey said couple has participated in the Boston-based walk to both honor her recov- ery and help support the Dana Farber Cancer Institute also located in Boston, and all of the work they do to help people survive the devastating disease that is cancer. Hamel said this alone she with the help of friends, family and the residents of the sur- rounding communities were able to raise more than $4,500, which went to the insti- tute. Stacey said after all of the support she and her husband received last year, some from total strangers who have now turned to friends. She said they wanted to say thank you for all of the help and hopes they contin- ue to support them on the walk for the years to come, and maybe even join them in walk- ing the 26.2 mile, two-day course.

“Every Town Deserves a Good Local Newspaper” TheHeartOfMassachusetts.com 16 STURBRIDGE VILLAGER • Friday, June 4, 2010 SPORTS Warriors win in fine fashion, await postseason

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — On a gorgeous day for softball May 28, the Tantasqua varsity team played its final regular season game, beat its opposition in South 16-1 after six innings of play, and celebrated a great year (16-5) with an outdoor barbecue for all players, coaches and parents. Kat Muska, Marissa Simpson, Mandy Balderelli, Cassie Wadden and Courtney Moen are the five Warrior seniors who played their final regular season home game, but with such a good record Tantasqua should get at least one more game in Sturbridge during Division 1 District play. The Warriors played 21 regular season games, instead of the usual 20, since they traveled to Nantucket to play two games on May 1 against the hometown team. Tantasqua won both games with Nantucket, 9-2 and 20-1. Any team that makes the trip to the islands is allowed to play an extra regu- lar season game. “As the wins have been accumulating Marissa Simpson releases a first inning pitch for Nick Ethier photos Tantasqua. they’ve been looking back and seeing what The Tantasqua softball team shakes hands with South after the Warriors defeated the Colonels in six the past records have been,” Tantasqua have had two 13-win seasons coming into innings, 16-1. Tantasqua finished its regular season at 16-5 and awaited its seed in the Central coach Pete Casine said, just to explain how this year. They were 13-7 last year and 13-8 Massachusetts Division 1 District Tournament. good the season was for the Warriors. “It’s the year before.” the best they’ve done in 12 years. These guys And Tantasqua began the year at 2-3 and was only 5-4 after nine games played. But the Warriors won seven in a row midway through the year to jump to 12-4, and after losing to St. Peter- Marian 11-7 they ended the year on a four-game win- ning streak. “A couple of our losses came early on,” Casine said. “Since then we’ve really only lost two games down the stretch.” And in the ultra-compet- itive 13-team Southern Worcester County League, Sarah Nichols takes a pitch for a strike for Tantasqua. Nichols would sin- Tantasqua finished with gle later in the at-bat and finished the game 3-for-4. the best record, going 12-2 in league play.

(Only Southbridge, David both pitched three innings against the fourth inning. Wood-Ortiz’s teammates wait for her at right. Colonels. Simpson surrendered one run on one hit while striking out four and walking one; Wadden fanned two while allowing one single. “Our pitchers are in end-of-the-year form,” Casine said. “We’re not walking kids. We’re not giving up freebies. We’re not put- ting kids on base that shouldn’t be on base. We’re making very few errors. That’s what we want to do.” Jordan Kingman, a freshman who would have pitched the seventh inning against South had the 15-run mercy rule not taken effect, is the third pitcher for Tantasqua. “We don’t feel like we need to have one kid carry us,” Casine said. “Either of those kids (Simpson or Wadden) can step on the mound in Districts, and Jordan is a nice safety to have.” The offense exploded for Tantasqua against South, with the Warriors belting out 18 hits in the 16-run outburst. The Colonels scored the first run of the game in the top of the first, but after that it was all Warriors. They tied the game with a single run in the first (Makayla Wood-Ortiz RBI single), and then put up a five spot in the second to take a big lead. Balderelli (3-for-5) reached base on an error to begin the second inning, and then took second on a passed ball. She scored when Sarah Nichols (3-for-4) ripped an RBI single. After taking second and third base on wild pitches, Muska (3-for-4) plated Nichols with another RBI single. As Amy McClelland took ball four, Muska scored during the ensuing wild pitch. Alex Kane (2- for-3) was hit by a pitch later in the frame with the bases loaded, and Balderelli fin- ished the scoring with an RBI single, and it was 6-1 after two. The Warriors scored three more times in the third on four hits and two Colonels errors. Muska, McClelland and Simpson scored on passed balls, and they all touched home with two outs already down in the frame. The hit parade continued in the fourth inning, as Tantasqua scored five more times on seven hits. Nichols, Muska, McClelland, Simpson (2-for-4), Wood-Ortiz, Kane and Balderelli had hits. All were singles except for Wood-Ortiz, who finished 3-for-3 and belt- ed a three-run home run in the inning, a shot that went over the 180-foot sign down the left field line. The Warriors scored twice in the sixth inning (Kayla DiBiasie scored on a wild pitch and Balderelli scored on a Moen groundout) to conclude game scoring. With district seeding to be announced this week, Casine can’t wait, and neither can his team, whom he believes is capable of beat- ing anyone in the area. “We have 15 kids that have varsity uni- forms and we don’t feel that we couldn’t put any of them in at any time,” he said.

Jaguar XFR a Demonstration of All That Can Go Right in a Luxury Sports Sedan

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Sometimes an exercise in excess is a good thing. Case in point would be this week’s review car: the 2010 Jaguar XFR. The Jaguar XF is simply a stunning, fast car on its own, but the XFR (the R is Jaguar’s performance line) takes stunning to a whole new level. True car aficionados may not be willing to admit it, but the XFR is what the Porsche Panamera aspires to be. This is the first Jaguar in a long time that can make any claim against a Porsche but the Germans have a lot to learn from the English (well, technically the Indians) when it comes to four-door sports sedans. The XFR is powered by a 5.0- liter, supercharged V8 engine that puts out 510 horsepower and 461 lb. ft. of torque. That is 210 more horsepower than the base XF, which has a 4.2-liter V8 that performs pretty well. The XFR The 2010 Jaguar XFR is a handsome car that holds a stunning 510 horsepower under its hood. It is probably the best luxury sports sedan currently on the market. zips from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds.
