Tonelli brings counseling, learning under one roof BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER WEST BROOKFIELD — With more than 20 years of counseling experience under his belt, Norman Tonelli and his staff continue to improve lives throughout the region. Through the West Brookfield Counseling Center and the Tonelli Learning Center, the team of four full-time therapists has been able to affect countless local residents for the better. Tonelli began his work as a therapist 28 years ago, working as a guidance counselor at Holy Name High School, from which he had graduated prior to earning his under- graduate degree from Worcester State College, his master’s degree from Assumption College and his appointment as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Shortly after his time as a guidance coun- selor, in 1987 Tonelli began his first private Christopher Tanguay photos practice, specializing in parent-child family Norman Tonelli operates the West Brookfield Counseling Center and the Tonelli Learning Center, both local counseling. in the same building on Ware Street in West Brookfield.

David Dore photos PHOTOS CLOCKWISE: Carly Stone, 5, of Leicester, has a butterfly painted on her face during the Richard Sugden Library’s block party and Summer Reading Program kickoff Saturday, June 28. The event was designed to thank residents for approving a Proposition 2 1/2 override to keep the library open for the next 12 months.

What would a library block party be without reading? Jen Schrader, center, of Spencer and her two sons, 9-year- old Alex, left, and 7-year-old Jon, right, take a break and peruse the pages of a magazine.

Mary Jean, 5, of Holden enjoys the cake and lemonade served at the block party while also showing off the feline-themed design painted on her face.

Ellie Stone shows off another mask she created earlier in the day — not the one she was caught making by a photographer.

Fiske and Herrera, a duo based in West Brookfield, performed at the block party. They were preceded by another local duo, Chuck and Mudd.

Early: ‘People of interest’ named in Molly Bish case BISH continued from page A1

Molly eight years ago, when she vanished from her lifeguard post at Comins Pond. Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. told reporters Friday night his office has “some people of interest we’re looking at. I can’t say too much because it is an active and ongoing investigation, but rest assured we’re not stopping on this until we find who killed Molly Bish.” One of the people being investigated, Early said, is 55-year-old Robert R. Burno Jr., accused of trying to pin a young woman against a guardrail with his car as she walked her dog on a road in Brimfield. He attracted the attention of investigators and Molly’s mother, Magi, because of the simi- larity between him and a composite of a David Dore photos man Magi Bish saw at Comins Pond the day Photos left to right: Magi Bish holds a single yellow rose as she speaks before Molly’s disappearance. during a prayer service Friday, June 27 at Comins Pond to mark the eighth “That’s a person of interest,” Early said of anniversary of the disappearance of her daughter, Molly.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

It´s one of the oldest tricks in the book. Hide your valuables in a plain package and it reduces the likelihood they will be stolen. (The converse is true. Wrap up something you want stolen in a gift pack- age and it´s bound to disappear.) The jewellers that ply their trade in the Diamond District of New York do this all the time. They travel the streets of Manhattan with millions of dollars in jewels stored in nothing more secure than a brown paper bag. They succeed in their mission because nobody pays attention to them. Unfortunately, Lincoln has done the same thing with the all-new 2009 Lincoln MKS. It´s a great car that´s wrapped in a plain package. The designers say it´s a tribute to the Lincoln tradition, but it fails to make the car standout – except when one passes you. For some reason, I find this car stunningly attractive from the rear. I spent the good portion of a day recently in front of, alongside, and behind the new From most angles, the 2009 Lincoln MKS is a less-than-stunning vehicle but don´t let that stop you from considering one for purchase.
