BY MARK ASHTON NEWS STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — “I didn’t go very far — just to Charlton,” said artist extraordinaire Pierre R. Theriault. But to be accurate, what he should say is that he didn’t end up very far away. Because, since grad- uating from Southbridge High School in 1968, he has been a little bit here, there, and elsewhere. The first thing he remembers about Southbridge is attending school at Notre Dame, which “did- n’t take,” so he went on to attend Marcy Street School, Wells Junior High, Cole Trade (where, he admits, he “was a bit of a screw- up”), and eventually Southbridge High School. For much of that Mark Ashton photos time, he was known as Peter to Pierre Theriault’s versatility and love of different art styles are reflected in a pastoral most friends and classmates, until featuring a dinosaur, his vision of a Block Island cliff scene, his unfinished “Blond his trip to the Registry of Motor Jesus,” and a crouching nude in two colors.

After high school, the budding would-be artist was accepted into a scholarship program and commut- ed to the Boston Museum School of Art’s summer program, taking time to marry Carol Earnest (SHS, Class of ’66) in the process. He later graduated from the New England School of Art, also in Boston, where he was on the Dean’s list and in the top 15 percent of his class. That’s where he learned something about photography, commercial art, fine arts, and illustration, which led to post-graduate work at the Montserrat School of Art in A portrait of the artist as a (not-so-young) man.

Seniors gather at the Southbridge Community Center three mornings a week for a little healthful recreation.

SOUTHBRIDGE — Some of the most active residents in Southbridge are seniors citizens, and/or retired, and/or busier than ever. It doesn’t take a doctor to figure out that the best way to keep aging muscles young, and limber, and working to the best of their ability is to – literally – keep them going. Which is why health-minded seniors gather three times a week at the Community Center on Chestnut Street for some arm- raising, leg-lifting, neck-stretching exercis- es. The Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning classes (9-10 a.m. each day) are led Evelyn Petrelli, front, and Rita Poirier exercise their options during a recent ses- by professional health trainer Jennifer sion at the Community center. Reynolds, who’s been at that job – and that site – for more than 10 years. Employing lively music and friendly instruction (“Lift those … legs and cross … and one … and two … and cross … and lift and …”), Reynolds wraps up individual ses- sions of weight-lifting, stretching, and car- dio exercises – some of which are accom- plished in chairs, others while standing and bending – with pulse-taking and record keeping. No one is pushed beyond his or her limits, and the emphasis is strictly on healthful exercise – not exertion. The senior participants enjoy cardio-vas- cular improvement and a little socializing for an hour each day and then are off to other activities at home or elsewhere in the community. Although seniors sign in each day they attend, there is no fee, and no penal- ty for missing a day. And anyone who wants to is welcome to join the group, which varies in size from day to day and class to class. To join, visit the Southbridge Senior Center on one of the aforementioned mornings or call 508-764-1469 for more information.

SOUTHBRIDGE — A school bus transporting some four dozen athletes from the Knox Trail School in Spencer was involved in a fender-scruncher on Friday, May 4, a little before 3 p.m. at the entrance to Alva Gregoire Field on West Street in Southbridge. The preliminary police report indicated that the bus driver was at fault in turning into the driveway – just above West Street School – into the front left fender of a Toyota mini- van being driven by Annamaria Beaudry of Southbridge. Her daugh- ter, Yvonne, 13, was a passenger in the vehicle. No injuries were reported at the scene, and the Knox Trail students were playing soft- ball and baseball before a tow truck arrived to remove the minivan from the scene. The bus was believed to be sound enough to transport the students back to Spencer. Officer Richard Reddick of the Southbridge Police Department was heading the investigation.
