More than 15 years ago, a group of local artists and craftsmen, in a friendly gath- ering, decided to bring their diverse and mutual interests and talents to the eye of the public. Thus began the Backroads Studio Tour, a tour of the area during perhaps its finest showtime — autumn in New England. Since then, many of those who first conceived of the idea remain in an event that has become a highlight of the fall season. Some have left, while others have joined, all adhering to standards of qual- ity and artistry inherent in the original concept. This year, 15 of the area’s most creative residents will open their shops and studios to the public Saturday, Oct. 1 File photos and Sunday, Oct. 2 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There you will Left to right: Kara Bigda shows a print of one of her works inside her West Brookfield studio.

David Dore photos The visiting Pirates take the field. Members of the David Prouty Marching Panther Band wait on the sidelines before the game starts. SPENCER — David Prouty High School celebrated Homecoming Saturday, Sept. 24 with cross country, field hockey, boys’ soccer and girls’ soccer contests against Leicester and a football game against Oxford. The football team improved to 2-1 with a 28-7 victory over the Pirates.

From left, Prouty seniors Frank Dipadua, Jacob Nadreau, Brandon Comeau and Patrick Ricard head toward the center of the field for the ceremonial coin toss.

Spencer Selectmen Chairman Donald Berthiaume Jr. did the coin toss for Saturday’s game. The commemorative coin used celebrates the 100th anniversary of the birth of President Ronald Reagan. David Prouty Principal Robert O’Brien shows the coin used for the coin toss at Saturday night’s football game.

Oxford High cheerleaders gladly smile for the camera before rooting for their team.

Prouty pulled a trick play from its playbook in the first quarter, which resembled the “Statue of Liberty play” once used by Patriots QB Tom Brady. Oxford’s Mike D’Alio (20) is taken down by Prouty’s Jacob Cardinal (57). 10 SPENCER NEW LEADER • Friday, September 30, 2011

SPENCER — David Prouty High School sophomores Samantha Kuchinski, left, and Christina Charry installed roughly 200 pin- wheels in front of their school last week as part of Pinwheels for Peace, which marked International Peace Day Sept. 21. Christina and Samantha created and installed the four long streamers that hold mul- tiple pinwheels and that sur- rounded the installation of ground pinwheels made by other students. This is the high school’s fourth year participating in the international event. For more information on Pinwheels for Peace, go to www.pinwheelsforpeace.com . LEGALS

Children’s winners were boy’s winner Christian Marshall (7:50), followed closely by girl’s champion Jackie Courtesy photo Bokis (7:53).
