David Dore photos The soon-to-be Boy Scouts recite the Scout Oath. The Scouts who crossed over and their leaders gather for a group photo after the ceremony.

LEICESTER — Eleven members of Cub Scout Pack 123 took the next step in their Scouting journey last month. At a ceremony last month at St. Pius X Church, they were honored as Arrow of Light recipients (the highest award in Cub Scouts) and did a symbolic crossing over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. They are now members of Troop 123, also based in Leicester. “Not every Boy Scout gets to be a member,” explained parent volunteer committee chairman Rick Cehon. “Usually they’re senior, very active members. It’s a pretty big deal.” Earning Arrow of Light status and crossing over to Boy Scouts were fifth-graders Sean Burdett, Richard Cehon III, Jonathan Hayes, Brett Hulett, Guy Jones, Adam LaBombard, Daniel Menard, Eric Montiverdi, Timothy Moore, Joseph Morris and Brandon Sheldon. Cehon said it’s the “first time in a long time” so many boys received the Arrow of Light award. The 11 boys were not the only ones to cross from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. Cubmaster Dan Hulett made the move, too; he will be assistant troop leader with Troop 123.

NORTH BROOKFIELD RESIDENT’S DOCUMENTARY MAKES ITS DEBUT

BY ELISA KROCHMALNYCKYJ NEW LEADER CORRESPONDENT NORTH BROOKFIELD — Tyler Nickerson agreed to make a documentary about North Brookfield because it seemed a better way to put in 40 hours of school-required community service than volunteering at the library. Ten months and 300 hours of work later, “Ward Hollow,” a 90- minute documentary on the town’s history, was released at a May 25 premiere at North Brookfield Elementary School. What amazed Nickerson, 18, is how star-studded North Brookfield’s history really is. “For 18 years I’ve lived in this town, and I’ve always believed it was a small town that never had anything and never will have anything,” Nickerson said. He was wrong.

Editor’s Note: Please be advised that some of the photos included in this story may be deemed graphic by some.

From all of us here at Stonebridge Press, we wish every student a safe prom season.

CHARLTON — The following did not really happen. Let’s hope it stays that way … On the way from one post-prom party to another, a car full of Bay Path students slammed into another car on Route 20, throwing one girl lethally through the front window, leaving a second girl in a wheelchair, and less seriously injuring two others.

While speeding through the CVS inter- section on Route 20 (and running a red), Cutrona looked down to answer a text and plowed roughly head-on into the second car carrying Daniel Golden of Spencer and Gabrielle Bailey of Charlton. From the football field bleachers, the junior and senior classes watched the fire department use its newly-obtained Jaws of Life to cut apart “Cutrona’s” red car to extract Figueroa and Alicea, who were bundled into ambulances.

BY JON GOUIN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT SPENCER — Heading into the final week of the 2013 regular season, the Quaboag varsity baseball team was sitting at 8-9 overall, needing just two wins in their final three games to earn their first postseason berth in five years. After a 4-3 win over Douglas High on May 20, the Cougars visited David Prouty on May 21 to try to get the job done. It was a hot and humid afternoon that ended rain-soaked, but Quaboag did in fact earn their 10th win, clinching a coveted slot in the Central Mass. Division 3 district tournament. Perhaps more impressively, though, the Cougars (10-9, 8-8 SWCL West) grabbed the school’s first Southern Worcester County League West Division championship with a 5-1 win in five-plus innings against the Panthers. “Better than anyone can know right now,” laughed Quaboag head coach Brian Guimond when asked how it felt to become postseason eligible. “From when I took over six years ago it was a tough uphill climb; we were really struggling for those years.” Guimond has led the Cougars Peter Bys of Quaboag drops down a textbook suicide squeeze to score Brannon to the dance once, in his first year McMullen in the second inning of a rain-shortened 5-1 win over David Prouty. with the team.

He was 30. To mark his anniversary,and to ease the pain of realizing it had been 20 years of missing him, Phil’s friends and family gathered in the Big Y parking lot in Spencer and spent the day doing Phil’s favorite thing — motorcycling. “If you looked up motorcyclist in the dictionary, it would say ‘See Phil Gehring,’” Shea said. “He lived and breathed Harley-Davidson.” The May 4 Phil Gehring Memorial Run saw 50 motorcyclists ride together for several hours, visit his grave and gather for what turned out to be a potluck feast at Chooch’s Food & Spirits in North Brookfield. Shea said the idea for the memorial run started about a year ago. “Last year on the anniversary of his death, I was at his grave and I put a note Courtesy photo on the grave about getting together the next year,” Shea said. “His nephew Walter mouth helped a lot.” room, you couldn’t be in that called me and said, ‘What do you think?’ May 4 was bright and sunny, and by 11 mood long.” We also got help from Phil’s brother, who a.m., 50 riders had gathered.

It was the same as a patch they had distributed shortly after he died. “We duplicated that and put a silver ‘20’ in the middle of them,” he said. The group also made a banner with the same emblem. The run stopped at Chooch’s, where the potluck supper ended up more elab- orate than anyone expected, Shea said. “There were Italian dishes, and salads, and a cake — there was so much we had leftovers,” he said, adding that Vinny Gianfriddo, owner of Chooch’s, provided the tables, plates, utensils and all the other things they needed. “There was lots to eat, lots of memories, lots of people talking about Phil,” Shea said. “The whole day was about Phil.”
