TWO DECADES COMING TO END

BY RYAN GRANNAN-DOLL STAFF WRITER CHARLTON — For 20 years, Charlton Mills owner John Carpenter has been selling, fabric and other assorted crafts products to the customers he loves getting to know. A victim of the economy,he now plans to close his Route 20 store, located westbound just past Ted’s Variety Store, sometime soon. Worthington Corrugated Box, a separate business housed in the same building, is not closing. Carpenter, a 64-year-old Ware resident who opened his store June 1, 1990, said he does not know what day he will close, but is holding a liq- uidation sale to get rid of remaining inventory. After so many years of running the store, the troubled economy turned his once profitable business into a losing venture. Carpenter said overhead costs had skyrocketed in the wake of a steep decline in sales revenue. “Let’s just say it put the nail in the coffin,” Carpenter said. “It is very emotional for me. In its entirety, it is overwhelming.” Despite the unfortunate turn of events, Carpenter said pouring his heart and soul into the business for a good chunk of life has been Ryan Grannan-Doll photo rewarding.

Wondering if advertising works??? See what our customers have to say; their words speak for themselves.

The main thing I like about advertising with the Stonebridge Press is the occasion- al free half page ad. I also like the fact that the paper is distributed free to my local fan base. It is a great inexpensive way to reach a large customer base. The only down- side I have seen to print advertising is that it is very hard to track the response to it. The couple times I have run print ads the response has been fairly poor, except for the Villager. It is the only paper I received any coupons back from when I ran the same coupon in multiple papers at the same time and the main reason I continue to advertise there. I do find that I get a great response from my facebook advertising. I can post a special that day and see 10-15 people come in response. Brian Trietman BT’s Smokehouse 508-347-3188 www.btsmokehouse.com

The B.T.'s Smokehouse sit down restaurant is located at 392 Main St. (Rt. 20) in Sturbridge and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11am until 9pm and Sunday from noon until 8pm. The Snack Shack, located at the corner of the Yankee Spirits building in Sturbridge is open Monday through Saturday from 11am until 6pm and Sundays from noon until 6pm. B.T.'s Smokehouse started out as a little roadside shack on the side of RT 20 on the outskirts of Brimfield. We offer slow smoked BBQ meats that utilize all natural ingredients. We also try to utilize as many green practices as possible; from our biodegradable togo containers and silverware to our recycling practices which also include the recycling of all our grease and fats. Over the course of the past three years our customer base has steadily grown and so have the facilities associated with the restaurant. In Nov. 08 we opened the Snack Shack, our little outpost on the corner of the Yankee Spirits Building in Sturbridge. As of January 2010 we have closed the Brimfield shack and opened a sit down restaurant in Sturbridge across from OSV in the old Country Creamery space. Most of our business is word of mouth and has led to us being named in the Boston Globe last September as one of the Top 10 BBQ Joints in New England.

Acura ZDX Tries To Be a Lot of Things But Rarely Delivers at Any of Them

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

If good things come in little packages, is it therefore possible that bad things can come in big packages? That’s the sense one gets after a week behind the wheel of the Acura ZDX. To mix up the metaphor somewhat, this is a big vehicle with a small interior package that leaves one with a bad impression. The ZDX, as Acura proclaims, is a “four-door sports coupe … with dramatic styling, outstanding performance and the latest in advanced technology.” Somewhat disconcerting is this proclama- tion from an Acura executive: the ZDX “combines the best attrib- utes of a coupe, a sedan and a sport utility - all wrapped in a beautifully sculpted package.” In theory, but only in theory, does the ZDX deliver. Frankly, it offers a tight cabin, horrible sightlines, and low fuel efficiency. Its bulked up exterior suggests a vehicle that should have more interior space, but as others have pointed out, its wheelbase is only The 2010 Acura ZDX is a handsome vehicle from the outside to a lot of people (not necessarily this reviewer) but its big hulking presence gives no indication 1.7 inches more than the Acura’s of its relatively tight interior space for a vehicle its size. compact TSX and its front legroom is only .2 inches more mpg city and 23 mpg highway.My recalled approximately 1,850 real-life experience was closer to Acura ZDX vehicles to inspect the (Questions and comments about even with an additional almost 7 this review and other automotive inches in length. 18 mpg overall. dashboard surface material.

Of course, that extra $10,000 does provide you with the best sound system you will ever hear in a car (outside of the 2000 watt system available in the upcoming Bentley Mulsanne). The Acura/ELS Surround premium 10-speaker audio system with Auto Review DVD-Audio gave me a new appre- ciation for The Doors. It delivers a true concert hall experience. So, who is going to buy a ZDX? Most likely Acura MDX customers who want something a bit more stylish. It would be a mistake because looks eventually wear but practicality doesn’t. It’s never a good sign when a press car in my driveway becomes the alternate vehicle.
