WELCOME TO THE FORCE

SPENCER — One of the newest members of the force at the Spencer Fire Department is not a per- son, but rather a vehicle: Ladder 1, which arrived in Spencer at 4:35 p.m. March 3 and was the star at an Open House Sunday, June 14 at the fire station. The $1 million truck replaces a 1983 American LaFrance bought new for $218,000 that had what Fire Chief Robert Parsons called “extensive rot, not just rust spots.” The new vehicle has a 100-foot ladder, a large capacity tank, and a bucket at the end of the ladder that could accommodate more than one firefighter. Smeal Fire Apparatus of Synder, Neb., was awarded the contract to build the truck, which took a little over a year to complete.

Scouts unfurl a flag that had flown over the Haston Free Public Library in North Brookfield and is David Dore photos beyond repair to prepare it for disposal. While holding a tattered flag, Scouts salute.

WEST BROOKFIELD — Boy Scout Troop 257 from North Brookfield held a flag dispos- al ceremony Thursday, June 17 at the Quaboag on the Common nursing home for flags that are in disrepair and no longer worthy of flying. One of the flags formerly flew over the Haston Free Public Library in North Brookfield. The Scouts followed protocol for honorably disposing of American flags, including separating the stars section from the red and white stripes.

Bernice Robblee, a 94-year-old Quaboag on the Common resident who served in the Air Force during World War II, salutes during the ceremony.

WEST BROOKFIELD — The West Brookfield Town Common was turned into a croquet court Sunday, June 13 for a Croquet Social sponsored by the Asparagus & Flower Heritage OLD-FASHIONED FUN Festival Committee. Part of the Quaboag 350th celebration, the event was the brainchild of Richard and Barbara Rossman, who have been buying croquet sets at flea markets for more than a decade.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Normally, it is difficult for me to give up cars costing tens of thousands of dollars. But to lament the end of a loan of a $22,000 car? It rarely happens but did after a week with all- new 2011 Hyundai Sonata. It has to be on your short list if you are in the market for a midsize sedan. It’s a game changer. I drove the Sonata a lot – espe- cially for somebody who works from home. One day it was to Bear Mountain State Park on the Hudson River in Upstate New York. Another trip was to Newport, R.I. and a third was back to upstate New York for a performance driving school. Two of the trips were five hours roundtrip from my home just outside of Hartford, Conn., and third was four hours. (I also enjoyed driving the Sonata dur- ing a media program in Philadelphia.) By the way all three of those trips involved driving some especially fine automobiles, The 2011 Hyundai Sonata has been completely redesigned and it’s quickly become one of the best sedans on the market. including a Mercedes SLS, a the engine was revving above tion for mimicking what was but destroys the Ford Fusion, Jaguar XF R and XK R, and var- 4000 rpm but I was still doing 65 done well by other manufactur- Toyota Camry, and Honda ious sports cars at Bear mph.
