BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — The Sturbridge Post 109 and Cherry Valley Post 443 American Legion baseball teams took the field at Tantasqua Regional High School on July 14 with two dif- ferent frames of mind. Sturbridge is finishing out its season looking to finish strong, while Cherry Valley still had postseason aspirations. After Sturbridge walked off with a 4-3 victory,Post 109 is feeling confi- dent about the future and Post 443 could only shake their collective heads. “I’m optimistic,” Sturbridge man- ager Jim Rosseel said, as Post 109 improved to 6-18 and has a two-game winning streak with two games to play. “We need to go out on a win- ning note to draw the kids for next year.” Meanwhile, Cherry Valley manag- er Jim Stephens was disappointed with the loss. Angel Rosario of Sturbridge lowers his glove to scoop up a groundball. “Since I’ve come back four years ago this is probably the most poten- tial we’ve had on the team,” he said. “But they take plays off.” Post 443 is now 8-14 on the season and saw its slight window of reach- ing the Zone 4 playoffs close even more. “We’re done,” Stephens said.

BY KEVIN FLANDERS VILLAGER STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — The kids who take part in the Sturbridge Summer Recreation Program may differ from year to year, but the fun always remains the same. Sturbridge kids are enjoying another great summer at the annual program, which takes place at the Cedar Lake recreation area. This year’s enrollment is 98 kids, an increase from the program’s 2011 attendance. “It’s nice to see some new faces here this summer. The weather has been beautiful this year, which is great for all of the activities the kids get involved in,” said program coordina- tor Genny Pacitti, who works at Burgess Elementary School and has coordinated activ- ities at the program for the last four years. The eight-week program, lasting from June 25 to Aug. 16, allows kids to participate in mul- tiple activities and fun events. Of course, nothing beats swimming in the lake on hot days, and thanks to the terrific weather there has been a great deal of swimming over the last few weeks. “There is a lot of really fun stuff you can do here like playing board games, tennis, and dodge ball. They even let you go fishing,” said Charlie Rogers, who is attending the program Kevin Flanders photos From left, Britney Gough, Brooke Beaucage, Elizabeth Lataille, and Brynlee Beaucage take a break from for the second straight year.
