BY ANDY LEVIN TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER UXBRIDGE — For many elder- ly residents of this community, the Senior Center’s new van is truly a vehicle of empowerment. About 40 people gathered at the Senior Center Thursday, Dec. 11 to celebrate and bless the 14-pas- senger, 2009 Ford “Super Duty” purchased earlier this year through a $40,000 town allocation and private donations totaling $17,150. The van, which is used to trans- port many seniors to and from the center, around town shopping and to and from medical appoint- ments, replaces a 10-year-old model that was deemed too expensive to maintain. May Town Meeting voters originally author- ized spending up to $65,000 for a new van, but substantial savings were realized following negotia- tions with vendors and an aggres- sive fundraising campaign over the summer.

It empowers them so that they do not have to rely on their family members or caregivers. They can make their own appointments and be in con- trol.” One of the van’s drivers, Edward “Joe” Rondeau, said the new model is a substantial improvement over its predecessor that had accumulated nearly 90,000 miles and needed engine and transmission work. “It rides very good and there are no rattles,” Rondeau said. “We really love it — and the gas mileage is going to be better.” Several donors who allowed the town to save money on the van were recognized at the reception: A $1,000 donation from UniBank, $500 from Dr. Charles Lutton, $200 each from the VFW and BJ’s Warehouse, $1,250 in anonymous donations, plus a $10,000 grant from Ocean State Power combined to save $13,150. The Elderly Connection has also earmarked $4,000 in proceeds from its annual golf tournament to offset the van’s cost. Because of the savings, the town will be able to return almost $25,000 to its stabilization account. Rev. Steven Labaire, of St. Mary’s Church, was on hand to lead a blessing of the new van. “This van lifts a burden,” Rev. Labaire prayed. “We praise God who inspires this creativity. We pray for designers and engineers and all who have a hand in making these creations… We pray for the generous hearts, minds and hands of those who lift the burdens of others. We pray that this town might be an oasis of peace… and that those who will use this vehicle will travel safely with care for the safety of others.” Petrillo emphasized the van’s importance to this eld- erly community by noting there is only one taxi com- pany serving the town. “We are very proud and happy,” she said. Meanwhile, the Council on Aging is asking the Finance Committee to restore $8,128 to the Senior Center’s fiscal year 2009 budget. The money would pay for van drivers, an administrative assistant and a cus- todian. Selectman Bruce Desilets said he is moving ahead with plans to protect the town’s newest investment by building it a shelter from the often-harsh New England Andy Levin photos climate.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — The Southbridge vs. Northbridge boys’ basketball game Dec. 12 featured a classic case of size vs. speed. The Rams had a distinct height advantage, while the Pioneers had the quicker athletes. The smaller, speedier group prevailed, as Southbridge won on opening night, 76-70. The Pioneers outhustled and outrebound- ed a fatigued Northbridge team that was playing its second game in as many nights. “That’s one good team, one big team,” Southbridge coach Bob Fowler said. “Zach Zidelis and Casey Hippert are two All-Stars. They’re both 6 feet, 5 inches. They were the keys that we knew we had to stop.” But Zidelis, Hippert and the rest of the Rams (1-1) had spurts of fatigue after an impressive first quarter. “They were beating us to balls,” Northbridge coach Paul Baker said. “Because of our size, we shouldn’t be giv- ing up 15 or 20 offensive rebounds.” Northbridge’s Zach Zidelis looks to pass as the Pioneers’ Jose Vega The Rams began the night tries to get the ball. with six straight points, and led 13-7 at the end of the first quarter. But a big 16-point advantage for the Pioneers in the second quarter gave Southbridge a lead they would never give up, even though it got close many times in the second half. “Our first quarter was tough, (but) we stepped it up in the second quarter,” Fowler said. “I think the press had a lot to do with wearing them down.” Along with the press, the 36-31 rebounding advantage for a smaller Southbridge squad really helped as well. Nathan Power was the leading rebounder for the Pioneers with nine boards, and Jose Vega chipped in with seven. “I thought Power was a monster on the boards,” Fowler said. Shawn Kelley photos With the Southbridge Northbridge’s Casey Hippert and Southbridge’s Nathan Power face off for the ball. defense paying close atten- tion to Hippert (game-high 26 points) and Zidelis (13), guard Cory Pryor became a sharp shooter in the second half and kept the Rams in the game, hitting multiple three-pointers from the left corner. Pryor finished with 19 points. “(Pryor’s) probably one of our best outside shooters,” Zach Zidelis of Northbridge delivers a shot. Baker said. “He’s actually coming off knee surgery this fall, so he’s not 100 percent. But when he gets there he’s going to be tough.” “(Pryor) hit four or five threes on us,” Fowler added. “We were concentrating on (Hippert and Zidelis), and he got us by surprise.” A big flurry by Northbridge in the third quarter, which included a three from Pryor, cut the deficit to three at 48-45. When it looked like the Rams would complete the comeback, Vega rattled off three straight baskets to give Southbridge some breathing room. Richie Alcantara thwarted a Northbridge comeback in the fourth quarter for the Pioneers, when he also scored three straight bas- kets. “I thought Alcantara and Vega did a phenomenal job,” Fowler said. “I liked the way they both slashed to the hoop. They played great defense. They took the pres- sure off (Jose) DeLeon (15 points, three rebounds) and (Victor) Martinez (19 points, five steals), who had an exceptional job tonight.” Fowler was also pleased with the effort of Hasnian Southbridge’s Victor Martinez flies through the air as Northbridge’s Rosario (nine points, four Joe Rice tries to block. rebounds). “I thought that for his size, drew a foul.

Katie Pryor was the main beneficiary for the Rams, scoring a game-high 17 points. Pryor also had three rebounds and had multiple steals on the defensive end. By the time the game came to a close, eight of the 10 players that were suited up for Northbridge scored, and all got plenty of playing time. “Everyone contributes,” Ratcliffe said. “Everyone’s going to be playing in and out.” Danyelle Doldoorian was the second leading scorer for Shawn Kelley photos Northbridge, finishing with Clockwise starting from above: Southbridge's Dayna Larson tries to make her way around Northbridge's Lauren Drew. eight points.
