BY GUS STEEVES STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER comecome toto thethe SOUTHBRIDGE — Not long ago, a Town Hall observer wouldn’t have pictured Roger Caouette and Cathy Nikolla on the same side of a con- rrescueescue troversial issue. But they are. They, and hundreds of other people (so far), have been trying to stoke a fire under Gov. Deval Patrick to keep the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) office in town. Not long ago, the state announced it would be moving the facility to the Charlton turnpike rest area Aug. 9. Most of those hundreds aren’t actively involved — they’re signa- tures on an impromptu petition that Nikolla, fellow Councilor Denise Clemence and others have been leaving at local businesses, while Caouette has been pounding the pavement collecting them in person. The issue essentially came to a head late last week when Mark Roger Caouette, left, finds one of several employees willing to sign the petition to keep the office where it is. Turn To RMV, page A11

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER WORCESTER — Trailing by four runs heading into the bottom of the seventh inning July 14, the Sturbridge Big League team had their back against the wall. A loss would put them in a second game in one night, and it would be an elimi- nation game at that. A win would advance them to the state finals. Sturbridge made it very interesting, loading the bases with no outs and scoring three runs, but they just couldn’t manage plating the tying and/or winning runs, which were positioned at third and second base, respectively. Sturbridge lost the heartbreaker to Tivnan, 7-6. “We’re not done yet,” Sturbridge manager Jim Rosseel said as he remained optimistic. “They did that to us last year.” Rosseel alluded to the 2008 Big League tournament, where Sturbridge defeated Tivnan in the earlier round, but then lost twice in one day in the championship round. Sturbridge would have to beat Quabbin in the nightcap and then defeat Tivnan twice in one day for that similar situation to occur. Tivnan looked to put the game away early,as they scored one run in the first and three in the second to take a quick 4-0 advantage.

BY TERESA A. FRANCO STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER AUBURN — High school basketball players do not have to let their skills get rusty during the off-season. The Auburn Summer Basketball League gives high school students the chance to hone their skills during the summer months. The league has been in existence for more than 25 years and is currently run by Phil Samko of Worcester and Bob Muir of Auburn. The league uses Lemansky Park in Auburn for games, but consists of Southbridge and North Brookfield took to the court teams from around the for a game Thursday, July 9, part of the Auburn area.

According to Muir and Samko, the league has grown over the years. Samko said the league started out with only 10 teams, but now has more than 20. Samko said that the league tries to keep the entry fees as low as possible, and it gets local businesses to sponsor the league as well. Samko also mentioned that one of the main purposes of the league is to give high school students something to do with their free time during their time off from school. “[The leagues] keeps the kids off the streets and out of trouble and provides them with an opportunity they might not have,” he said. Muir has been running the league for most of its existence. He took over the league 25 years ago when a couple of high school basketball

JAMAICAN YOUTHS COME TO REGION TO HELP WITH BASEBALL CLINIC

BY CHRISTOPHER TANGUAY VILLAGER STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — There is something magical about baseball. It is synonymous with summertime, back- yards, dusty fields, and of course, friends. For most of us, it’s the friends with whom we share the ups and downs of each inning, whom we embrace after each victory, and loss, and with whom we can discuss numbers and abbreviations talking about earned run averages like they are some kind of secret code. For a few, baseball is more. It is not just a game, but a way of life, and most important- ly,an opportunity to better oneself by seeing the world. For Rashane Stewart 15, and Cardell Kennedy 13, of Buff Bay Jamaica, baseball has taken them to places they never would have imagined — like Southbridge. The two visitors came to the Bay State through the efforts of Missionary Evangelist Wally MacKenzie. While on a mission trip to Jamaica in 2006, MacKenzie was approached about partici- pating in a baseball clinic for local children. That clinic evolved into the West Portland Little League, a charter member of Little League International. Above left: Cardell Kennedy, 13, has participated in the Little League regional finals three years in a row, During his time in Jamaica, MacKenzie representing Jamaica. Above right: Rashane Stewart, 15, of Jamaica is in Southbridge for the summer, met the Rev. Gary George, pastor of doing what he loves, playing baseball.

Kennedy said that at home, he only gets the chance to play baseball about once a week, but this summer, “now we’re here, we can play everyday.” Since they arrived a week ago, the two have been befriended by Southbridge natives Christian Bahena and Ryan Raymond, who share their passion for baseball. “These two boys love baseball and they’re sharing that with these kids from Jamaica, it can’t get any better than that,” MacKenzie said. Speaking of Bahena and Stewart specifically,MacKenzie said, “Both of them seem to have this great desire to become major league baseball players.” “From the first time I went to Fenway, that’s when I wanted to be in the MLB,” Missionary Evangelist Wally McKenzie helps Ryan Bahena said.
