For one day last week, though, part of that trip was made by foot.

That “bus” was a group of more than 80 pupils, parents and supporters (including state Sen. Stephen Brewer and “Buck,” mascot of the chil- dren’s banking program at Country Bank for Savings) that strode from Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish to the elementary school as the early morning sun shined above them. It was part of the school’s celebra- tion of International Walk to School Day.

MAKING ‘CENTS’ OF SAVING

David Dore photo LEICESTER — Left: Former Boston Celtic Ernie DiGregorio recently spoke to pupils at Leicester Memorial School to promote state Treasurer Timothy Cahill’s Saving Makes “Cents” program. It teaches children about saving money and the evolution of currency in the United States. Saving Makes “Cents” operates in more than 400 schools statewide, thanks to the help of nearly 200 financial institutions, including Country Bank for Savings, which oversees Leicester Memorial School’s banking program. Center: DiGregorio then demonstrated ball passing skills with fifth-grader Dylan Porcano. Right: Fifth-grader David Mello holds onto a ball before he passes it to DiGregorio. OBITUARIES Paul L.

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.
