BY JERRY CARTON COURIER CORRESPONDENT WINCHENDON — One trait that’s been a constant throughout this field hockey season for the Murdock Lady Devils has been tenacity and last week’s 2-1 loss to Gardner was a microcosm of the campaign so far. Not infrequently in recent years, this rivalry contest has sometimes been rather one-sided, but not this fall, and in fact, the Lady Devils scored the game’s first goal when Kelsey Brooks converted, assisted by Haley Jandris. It was late in the first half before the Lady Wildcats could even things and pretty deep in the second before Gardner notched the win- ning tally. Even before that game, first year coach Amanda Lawler was seeing progress. “Conditioning’s been a factor but we’re starting to take the things we’ve been doing in practice and taking them into games. That means we’re on the right track” to build a winning program. The improvement in the culture hasn’t been lost on players, either. “I’m having a lot of fun,” said Chandler Torres-Pagan, a sentiment with which Jandris agreed. “We’re definitely getter better,” she said. Goalkeeper Alyssa LaBrack echoed that and was a key cog in the closeness of the Gardner game. LaBrack made eight saves to help keep the Lady Wildcats at bay. “Alyssa’s done a great job for us all year,” Lawler had mused at practice the day before. “The goalie’s always the last line of defense and we know we can depend on her,” the coach remarked. Conditioning doesn’t come overnight, though, and Lawler has talked about that since the first pre-season practice. “You run a lot in this game,” she laughed, “and we’re getting in better shape but when we do get tired, that obviously hurts us. We’re working on it,” Lawler said. Weather permitting, the Lady Devils host Sizer at 6:30 this evening after a pair of soccer games.

Tammy St. Pierre photo Manuel breaks multiple records A Winchendon player takes the ball up the field against opposition BY JERRY CARTON COURIER CORRESPONDENT WINCHENDON — It’s been quite the week or so for Murdock runner Jordan Manuel. First came the fastest 5k ever run by a Blue Devil when he stopped the clock in 16.01 for the 3.1 mile distance and on Monday, Manuel established a new course record at Narragansett when he won the 2.8 mile cross-country event on a new course in 15.41. Murdock’s boys and girls team both lost but the defeats couldn’t detract from Manuel’s tour de force. In fact, while the boys fell 20-41 to Oakmont in the tri-school meet (lower score wins in cross country), it took a tiebreaker for the Warriors to snap a 28-28 dead- lock. The young Lady Devils lost 15-45 to Oakmont and more narrowly 25-30 to ‘Gansett. In addition to Manuel’s tally, Steven Ingman placed ninth, Adam Digman 15th, Dylan Lupien 19th, and Alec Hart, Justin Manuel, and Tim Quinn finished close together in 26th, 27th, and 28th places overall. The girls had a trio of consecutive finishers as well as Victoria Swanson, and youngsters Lexi Allard, and Lilly Digman were 11th, 12th, and 13th. Paige Demanche finished 17th, Emily Roberts 18th and Rachel Legault 20th. Roberts is the sole high school runner in that group. Murdock finally gets a home meet on Oct. 8, the first of just two this fall with the second set for Oct. 16. “We don’t have anything to do with the scheduling,” Coach Anthony Findley said earlier this fall.

BY TRACY GAMBILL COURIER CORRESPONDENT WINCHENDON — “Students do their PART!” That is the motto intro- duced this year at Murdock Middle School to remind students about Pride, Accountability, Respect, and Teamwork. Students are encouraged to take pride in doing their best, in being committed to their goals, and in school involvement. They are reminded to take accountability for honest work, good choices, and being organized. Students are expected to respect themselves and others, and honor teamwork where they are positive, reliable, inclusive, and col- laborative. These expectations are part of the PBIS program. As its name indicates, the Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports model is designed to encour- Tracy Gambill photos age positive behavior. It focuses on clear Information on activities and clubs was available as families filed in. expectations; lessons, practice, and feed- back on these expected behaviors; and consistent ways of recognizing the posi- tives and correcting mistakes. “It’s positive reinforcement; proactive versus reactive,” explained Assistant Principal Jessica Vezina. “Students earn cards for positive behavior and are recognized in an assembly.” The method has been shown to help reduce problem behavior, cut down on staff turnover, improve academic per- formance, and build positive school cul- ture. Recently MMS, home of the Mini Devils, welcomed approximately 100 people at an open house. Though it may share a building with Murdock High School, MMS has its own identity which offers students a supportive bridge to cross over from elementary grades to high school. The school helps build a sense of com- munity with activities such as monthly dances, chorus and band concerts, and assemblies run by students. “Children help run the school,” assert- ed Principal Len Mackey. “Things may be proposed by Student Council.” “Students who are running for Student Council gave their officer’s pitch today on stage,” Mackey told fami- lies gathered. “[Interim Superintendent] Above: Calvin Miller and his interactive class- Mr. Haddad was here at the time and room introduced parents and students to shared how impressed he was with the world history and world geography.

(for adults), Sports Boosters, Friends of Music, Youth Venture, and Trio. There are more opportunities for stu- dents after school as well. An “Encore” period is available until 2:40 p.m., Monday through Thursday, for additional support in core academics. Other enrichment programs include art, Glee Club, archery, Environmental Club, and computer creations & applications. A late bus is provided for many families to make transportation easier. A parent portal system allows for convenient communication between home and school, and helps parents stay up-to-date on student grades. Before families went off to follow student schedules and learn more about their classes, Mackey and Vezina ended a short presentation with a reminder that the Massachusetts Board of Elementary and Secondary Education will soon decide whether to use MCAS or PARCC for statewide testing. “If you feel strongly about it, I encourage you to contact legislators and let them know,” urged Mackey. “Personally, I’m for the rights of states,” he added frankly.
