BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER WEBSTER — On an overcast, cool, and calm day — perfect run- ning conditions — Tantasqua sen- ior Aaron Anderstrom and Northbridge junior Julie Richer won the Southern Worcester County League (SWCL) individual cross-country championship races at Memorial Beach. Anderstrom finished the 2.9-mile course in 15:42, which helped the Warriors boys’ team place second. Richer — who crossed the line in 18:11 — and the Rams rolled to the team title on the girls’ side. Shepherd Hill won the boys’ event behind four of the top 11 fin- ishers. “You can’t really complain,” Anderstrom said of the team fin- ish. “You can’t win them all [but] we had a good season. We’re going to have a great season coming up in districts.” Anderstrom, Grafton senior Chaz Davis (last year’s winner), and Shepherd Hill senior Elijah Fossas battled for position all race long, but Anderstrom felt comfortable from the get-go. David Prouty runner Brenden Coughlin “The start was kind of fast and approaches the finish line at the SWCL we got a comfortable pace,” he said. championship race. Coughlin placed “I wasn’t rushed or hurting. I felt 17th with a time of 17:20. good and on stride.” Anderstrom said.

OUR TOWNS Auction raises $3K for Monson tree replanting MONSON — The Monson Arts Council recently offered paintings, photographs and sculpture by 35 local artists in a Silent Art Auction to benefit the Town of Monson Tornado Relief Fund. The organization has donated all of the money raised —$3,227.50 — to the Monson Tree Fund to replant trees in public areas in town. The silent auction was held online at the arts council website, and in the House of Art on Main Street, during an exhibit of the col- lection of Dr. Jean M. Porwoll, a local physi- cian who died last year. Porwoll was a pas- sionate conservationist and collector of art. Tod Beall, Monson Arts Council president, said, “We are very grateful to both the artists who so generously donated their work, and to the many people who bid on the work, enabling us to raise this amazing amount of money for replacement trees in our town.” Artists who donated from Monson were Juliet Bacchas, Peter Barnett, Bill Brown, Courtesy photo David Dupuis, Judy Gregoire, Chris Jalbert, Richard Guertin, treasurer of the Monson Arts Michael A.

Quaboag Historical Society honors Alice Jay WEST BROOKFIELD — Thursday evening, Oct. 13, was a memorable night for the Quaboag Historical Society, and for the residents of the Quaboag Plantation towns. The historical society sponsored a book signing and talk by Alice Jay, a lifelong resi- dent of West Brookfield and widow of the late town historian Arthur (Archie) B. Jay. The book, titled “Quaboag Plantation: The Beginning,” is a collection of the Brookfield selectmen’s meeting notes for the year 1754-1826. Alice Jay, who recently celebrated her 96th birthday, explained her inspiration to begin this work started when her husband gathered copies of the original parish records from the Congregational Church Library in Boston. After Archie passed away in 1999, Alice decided she wanted to share the knowledge of the Quaboag Plantation with others. She explained that the process of organizing and transcribing the infor- mation was not an easy task. It took her a total of six years to organize the meeting notes in chronological order and to transcribe each entry from the original hand writ- ten quill copy to a typewritten one. “Quaboag Plantation: The Beginning” is a book containing the meeting minutes of the first Brookfield Parish. The first records found begin Dec. 11, 1754. Jedidiah Foster, lawyer and later (1776) a justice of the Massachusetts Superior Court, was voted to be first moderator and scribe of the parish meetings. The notes contain a summary of the assistance and preparation given to the men who served in the town militia, as they Courtesy photo readied for duty in the American Revolution. The parish raised money for military sup- plies throughout the war years. The notes also describe the splitting off of North Brookfield and West Brookfield, as they became separate parishes during the early FIGHTING CANCER WITH DENIM 1800s. SPENCER — On Oct. 7, employees at Spencer Savings Bank participated in the Lee National At the end of the program, Alice Jay presented signed copies of her book to the six Denim Day to raise funds for breast cancer. During Lee National Denim Day, an employee can local libraries, the Quaboag Historical Society Museum and the West Brookfield donate a minimum of $5 to wear a pair of jeans for the day and the money goes towards the fight Historical Commission. against breast cancer. Together, the Spencer Savings Bank employees raised $475.
