BY KEVIN FLANDERS NEWS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — Despite the dreary weather on Saturday, the fifth annual Socks for Siberia Family Festival drew a decent crowd at Hyland Orchard, featuring a 5K trail race, live music, grilled food, and several children’s activities. During a 1998 trip to the Khakassia region of south central Siberia, Wally and Michele Connor, of Brookfield, were deeply moved by the sight of many orphaned children who were not adequately clothed. In 2001, as they prepared for their next trip to Russia, the Connor’s enlisted the help of their friends and neighbors to kick off the Socks For Siberia project, which gave rise to the name of their organization. More than 600 pairs of socks, 450 pairs of under- wear, 240 T-shirts, and 55 pairs of pajamas were collected and boxed by the Brookfield Girl Scouts for shipment to the children in Siberia. Since that time they have raised money to ship boxes of supplies to various locations in that region, as well as recreational equipment, craft supplies, clothes, and camping gear. The Socks for Siberia Family Festival was organized to allow local residents an opportunity to donate money that will directly assist orphaned children in Russia. This year’s event marked the first time a 5K trail race has been offered, and 48 runners participated in the race. “In spite of the weather, I thought it was a really good turnout for the race,” Wally Connor said. “All of the runners told me it was a tough but enjoyable course, and that they would defi- nitely want to do it again. We are hoping to have even more runners for next year’s race.” Many children attended the family festival and listened to live music performed by The Otters, Peter Newland and the Radioxile Band, Philip Newland, and other musical groups. The event also included a visit from Michele Connor’s sister, Kitty Putch, of Fort Myers, Fla., and her stuffed pet, Honey. In addition, face painting was offered to children by Donna Wentzell, of Brookfield. “We saw a lot of our friends here today,and it was another great event,” Michele Connor said. “Hyland Orchard is the perfect place to hold this event, and we would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time to be here.” Among those volunteers were members of the Brookfield Fire Battalion like Paul Comptois, who grilled hot dogs and hamburgers for hungry guests. A silent auction and a raffle were also held, with such prizes as tickets to an upcoming Boston Red Sox game and tickets to a Event co-organizer, Michele Connor, poses with her sister Kitty Putch. Beatlemania Again event at the Hanover Theater. Additional prizes included Bose earphones, a children’s lap quilt, tickets to a New England Patriots preseason game, a dual battery charger, and an uncut currency sheet.

Donations can be sent to Socks for Siberia (c/o North Brookfield Savings Bank), 128 West Main Street, West Brookfield, MA, 01565.

Brendan Worthley, 7, of Worcester, enjoyed the food and music.

Joy Richard photos STURBRIDGE — Students enjoyed the spring sunshine during the Burgess Elementary School field day last week. Fourth graders challenged their classmates in a series of field games Friday, June 5. Held on the schools’ south field, the color coordinated teams, ran, jumped, sang and even had the chance to mummify their teachers in toilet paper to see who the best fourth grade class was.

Fourth graders on the blue team are judged on their human pyramid building skills.

Burgess fourth grade teacher Deb Quinn passes out praise in the form of high fives during field day. Burgess fourth graders take part in a relay race during the school’s field day.

WORCESTER — To win a Central Mass. district champi- onship a team has to beat some very good competition, so for the Tantasqua girls’ lacrosse team they knew that the ultimate test would come in the semifinal round vs. Westborough. Not only were the Rangers the top seed, but they have also won the past three district titles. The fourth seeded Warriors were in a close 3-2 game midway through the first half, but Westborough scored multiple goals close to halftime to lead 10- 3 at the break. The Rangers ultimately won the game on June 7 at Commerce Bank Field at Foley Stadium, 16-4. Jessica Farland and Melissa Frio each scored two goals for Tantasqua, while Miranda Dry made 11 saves in net. The Warriors finished their season at 16-5-1.

Tantasqua’s Cassidy Robert gazes as she tries to catch the loose ball with her stick.

Redesigned 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL500 EPITOMIZES PERFECTION IN LUXURY COUPES

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

As a somewhat veteran journal- ist with more than 30 years experi- ence, I've grown slightly immune to the hype of news releases. There has never been a car intro- duced that hasn't proclaimed itself the best at what it does because, after all, no product has ever been sold claiming to be average. That's why my eyes would nor- mally roll at this headline: The 2011 [Mercedes] CL-Class Luxury, efficiency, perfection. Except, I can't really challenge that claim after spending a week, I should say practically living for a week, with the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL550. It really hits all its marks. My week with the Mercedes CL550 encompassed almost 600 miles as I attended the Connectivity and the Car round- table that I helped organize at MIT (about the only way I'd ever be invited to speak at MIT), the Newport Concours d'Elegance At more than $113,000, one might expect the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL550 to be more arresting in its design but its technology more than make up for its lack with my family of four, and multi- of looks. ple trips to the grocery stores and before overtaking, when merging ing of 15 mpg city and 23 mpg loaned to me by Mercedes had an other errands as a work-at-home onto a highway, braking hard or highway.
