The Oxford Wiffle Ball League (OWL), established in 2007 by Oxford teens Ryan O’Toole, 16, and Andrew Gray, 17, is set to return in April, and the boys are dreaming big. The genesis of the OWL three years ago began as many activities do — in the back yard. “We’ve been friends since middle school,” O’Toole said last week while preparing to hit some balls with Gray at Ruel Field on Locust Street. “We started in my back yard, then my back yard got com- pletely destroyed, so we cancelled that and we moved it here to Ruel Field in 2008.” “We knew of each other [in middle school],” added Gray, “but we became friends in fifth grade at Oxford Middle School.” O’Toole said the upstart league started with about 10 of his friends, including Gray, and four teams. After the inaugural season, it started to gather some steam. “It kind of took off,” O’Toole said. “Everyone started getting inter- ested in it.” Adam Minor photos The league today consists of 10 teams (with room for expansion if Above: Oxford Wiffle Ball League co-founders Ryan O’Toole, left, and popularity demands it) — The Padres (last year’s OWL Champions), Andrew Gray, at Ruel Field, site of the upcoming OWL season.

But, as the temperature begins to drop, many families in our area are unprepared to face the fast-approaching win- ter. Operation High Five’s, a grass roots movement started by two Northbridge women, is working hard to collect dona- tions to support local veterans and their families who are in need. Talia Berkowitz and Danielle Keane began Operation High Five’s four years ago by collecting new and gently used winter items for adults and kids. Berkowitz explained, “High Fives originally started as a way to collect winter clothing items to distribute to those in need. Danielle and I were both collecting items separately the year prior.
