BY OLIVIA RICHMAN NEWS STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass. — “We love our residents and we love animals!” exclaimed Thompson resident Cindy Gazzara, holding a small dog in her arms. The dog is Bella Gazzara, the eldest of Gazzara’s six dogs. She was standing behind a couple large bags of dog food, stacks of canned dog food and a cart of blankets, a huge smile on her face. Gazzara works at the Southbridge Rehab and Healthcare Center in Southbridge, Mass., as a nurse’s assis- tant. For the past few weeks Gazzara has rallied all her fellow employees in a month-long donation effort for Southbridge’s dog kennel. Alongside the blankets and dog food, Gazzara also presented Animal Control Officer Kathleen Shields with a $60 check from all of the employees. “I’m very, very touched,” Shields said. “I want to thank the employees of Southbridge Rehab and their relatives and friends for their graciousness and generosity for putting this on for ani- mals in peril.” One part of Shields’ duties as animal control officer is to provide shelter for stray or injured animals. The kennel Shields currently uses is more than 60 years old. The kennel was originally the town’s sewer treatment plant’s garage.

POMFRET — On Friday, Oct. 24, Pomfret Community School had a school-wide celebration. We celebrated our Star Student winners and Eagle Buck design winners. Star Students were selected by their teachers for going above and beyond what is expected. One star student, Angela LaFlamme, noticed a military serviceman while on a field trip. She stopped eating lunch, stood and quietly saluted him. He salut- ed back and she returned to her lunch. It was very sweet and respectful. Eagle Buck design winners were selected by their peers. The Eagle Bucks will be used as a school-wide reward system. There were also a few skits performed by our students to model our core values — take care of yourself, others and our school.

PUTNAM — Every year Putnam’s Annual Pumpkin Festival serves as one of the Worcester Railroad and, of course, the Great Pumpkin. The 2014 event Saturday, biggest celebrations of the fall in the Quiet Corner, filling Main Street with vendors Oct. 25, continued the tradition of success that the festival has become known for and crowds rivaled only by Putnam’s First Friday events.

As usual the line to take the Providence and Worcester Railroad ride through Northeastern Connecticut and Southern Massachusetts seemed endless. Every year the ride is the most popular feature of the Pumpkin Festival.

Westview cook-off experiences ‘souper’ results DAYVILLE — On Wednesday, Oct. 22, Westview Health Care Center in Dayville hosted its 2nd Annual Great Soup, Stew, Chili, Bisque and Chowder Cook-Off. The event proved to be successful as contestants, employees and judges mingled and tasted thirteen homemade favorites prepared by Westview employees and friends. More than 60 employees and a panel of community celebrity judges voted for their favorites as they tasted over 18 gallons of hot and tasty recipes. Celebrity guest judges and culinary experts Carolyn Granberg of Bellas Bistro, James Martin of 85 Main, Sheila Frost of The Courthouse Bar and Grille, Gary and Karen Osbrey from WINY Radio, Keith Barnes of The Crossings Restaurant and Jim West of Connecticut National Golf sampled the selections and presented the Judges Choice Award for all four categories of Best Soup, Stew, Chili and Bisque. They judged according to flavor, consistency, aroma and color/presentation. Judges Choice 1st place awards went to Gen Dubois for her Autumn Kale Soup, Carol Reynolds for her Chicken Tortilla Stew, Lynn Kennedy’s Lobster Bisque and James Kellaway for his Siracha-Cha Chocolate Chili. “It was great that Westview came together with local community restaura- teurs and businesses who share a common love of high quality food,” remarked Crossings General Manager Keith Barnes. “Every entry and its overall presen- tation went above and beyond expectation. I was honored to be asked to judge this event.” Westview staff attendees were responsible for judging the Peoples Choice Award by placing a ticket into the associated box with their favorite entry for all four categories. At the end of the day those with the most votes won the title. The winners were Louise Taylor for her Hearty Hamburger Soup, Eileen Panteleakos for her Beef Stifado Stew, Roxanne Alicea for Goya Turkey Chili and Lynn Kennedy for her Lobster Bisque. “We are so appreciative of all the support and participation of all the attend- ees, participants and our celebrity guest judges”, stated Administrator David T. Panteleakos. “This employee event builds upon the great camaraderie and team spirit that our employees display daily and we are happy to host such a high energy and creative event that includes some of our local food establishments and businesses in such a positive way.” Prizes for all awards in each category include a gift card to local restaurants such as Bellas Bistro, 85 Main, The Crossing Restaurant and Brew Pub and The Courthouse Bar and Grille.

PUTNAM — Both Putnam High and Tourtellotte came into last Saturday’s game with only one victory this season. But records don’t matter when the backyard rivals meet on the soccer field at St. Marie Greenhalgh Complex. “It’s always about bragging rights for the schools and all that,” said Putnam senior mid- fielder Josh Allard. Allard got a chance to boast after Putnam rallied with a pair of second-half goals to top Tourtellotte 2-1 on Oct. 25. Kyle Brule scored on a header to put the Tigers up 1-0 with 1:36 left in the first half. Putnam trailed 1-0 at the intermission and coach Jon Miller was not pleased with the Clippers effort in the first 40 minutes. “We did not show up in the first half,” Miller said. “To show up for an 11 o’clock game and just stand around and not do anything is very frustrat- ing — especially when we’ve worked so hard for the last 10 weeks. I told the guys they need to play. They need to wake up.” Charlie Lentz photo Allard said the Clippers got the message.

the match against East Lyme — after starting the season with seven losses in its first 10 games. East Lyme defeated Woodstock 30-28, 25-16, 23-25, 25-12 at Alumni Field House.
