BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY VILLAGER STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — In January, the leasing agreement between the town of Sturbridge and Old Sturbridge Village was extended through then end of this summer. That’ll be enough. “The lease here runs through August,” Town Administrator Shaun Suhoski said of the OSV lodges, which are currently being used as Sturbridge’s municipal offices. “That will be sufficient, barring some unforeseen circumstances,” Suhoski said. The projected completion date of the $5 million project was initially this April, a year from the beginning of the renovations. That completion date was later pushed back to this month when structural instabilities were located beneath the Town Hall and Center Office. When the shoring work began to correct the field stone foun- dations, the completion date was again pushed back to mid or late July. With the bulk of the structural work completed on both historic buildings, Suhoski said it looks like Christopher Tanguay photos the buildings are still on track to A worker gets a lift to paint exterior trim at the rear of Sturbridge Town Hall Wednesday, June 2.

STURBRIDGE — Several area residents participated in Old Sturbridge Village’s recent Discovery Camps session. OSV campers dress in period costume and experience daily life as it was in the 1830s. Space still remains but is filling fast for OSV’s summer Day Camps, including five- day sessions of Discovery Camp for ages 6-17, and the new Exploration Camps for ages 6-14.

“If it’s important to you, it’s important to us!” 18 STURBRIDGE VILLAGER • Friday, June 11, 2010 It happens in trees

The region may have felt it got a reprieve from bad weather on Saturday, when Mother Nature was largely agreeable. On Sunday, she unleashed her fury in full force, as tornado warnings kept people on edge all afternoon and high winds and rain wreaked general havoc. In the span of several minutes in Brimfield and Sturbridge, emergency officials were flooded with calls of power outages and downed trees. In two of three cases observed by this reporter, trees had fallen on power lines, resulting in outages in parts of Sturbridge and Brimfield. Said one Brimfield police officer as he and a colleague sat in a cruiser on Little Alum Road in Brimfield keeping watch on a fallen tree that blocked the roadway, “It’s been busy.It seems like a tree was falling every 15 minutes.” A short ways away up Apple Road, across the street from Cheney Orchard, some kids climbed up on what was left of a tree that had been struck by lightning and struck in two.

National Grid cut power to the lines on both Route 148 and Little Alum Road immediately following both incidents. As of early Sunday night, power had not yet been restored to several customers. — Walter Bird Jr.

Some children whose parents had pulled over just a ways up the Apple Road at Cheney Orchard before lightning struck this tree, weren’t frightened in the slightest and quickly ran over to enjoy some impromptu play time.
