SCU announces passing of former President/CEO SOUTHBRIDGE — It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that Southbridge Credit Union (SCU) announces the passing of its former President/CEO, Thomas J. Smalarz. After a long battle with a terminal illness, Mr. Smalarz died peacefully in his sleep during the early morning hours on Tuesday, July 5 at the age of 69. Mr. Smalarz served SCU and its communities in var- ious capacities for over 35 years. Post retirement he continued to Thomas J. Smalarz serve SCU as one of its Board of Directors. “Tom was a true gentleman and good person who cared deeply for his credit union, its members and its employees,” said Jeffrey Davenport, current President/CEO of SCU. Mr. Davenport continued to state, “He also had a very special love for the community of Southbridge. When the news about Southbridge was negative, Tom always found what was good about this community as a response. He gave over 40 years of his life to this orga- nization and industry and he will be missed. Tom was one of a kind and I’m truly a better person today having worked with him over the past eight years. I learned something from Tom, personally and professionally at every encounter I had with him. We have lost a true friend with Tom’s passing.” Mr. Smalarz always gave of himself selflessly and will be missed by all who knew him. His passion and spirit will be missed but never forgotten. A special thank you to his wife of 38 years, Rolande M. (Chamberlain) Smalarz, for sharing Tom with our credit union family. 4 •The Charlton Villager• Friday, July 22, 2016 www.charltonvillager.com Ronald McDonald visits library to keep kids laughing

CHARLTON — Ronald McDonald visited the Charlton Public Library on Thursday, July 14 to encourage children to keep reading and visiting libraries. Children helped Ronald animate a few short stories.

The local team won a 30-15 decision. Trailing 7-2 in the first quarter, the Mass Fury marched 58 yards in six plays, capped off by a Brett Anctil (Shepherd Hill Regional graduate) 12-yard inside run. After the conversion Worcester led 10-7 and never trailed again. Anctil picked up his second touchdown on an 8-yard outside run. Anctil then converted the two- point attempt, making it 18-7 with 7:27 left in the half, and the Fury would later go on to lead 30-7 at the Jessica Stutman looks to serve.
