his 2019 Guide is being dedicated to Team De-Feet Cancer of West Brookfield, MA. The team was created four years ago and in that time, they have raised Tover $117,000 for Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Over two days, riders in the Pan Mass Challenge begin in Sturbridge and bike 192 miles to Provincetown the first weekend in August. Team De-Feet Cancer is made up of father and daughter Bill & Jessica Piwowarski (team captain), who have been riding the PMC for seven and five years respectively, and Steve Morris, who has ridden in the PMC for the past In Bourne at the 2017 PMC six years. Steve has been a Top Ten Percent fundraiser for the past four years...a Bill Piwowarski, Jessica Piwowarski, very impressive accomplishment. He has ridden with cancer and as a survivor, and Steve Morris in August 2018 rode five miles from the Sturbridge start this year, despite being on chemo and enduring his most recent diagnosis of terminal cancer. According to Steve, “The PMC’s 192 total miles are grueling even for riders entering the event at full strength and conditioning levels.” He previously suffered a major knee injury shortly before the event but found a way to finish the final stretch. His inspiration comes from the many cancer survivors he has met each year along the route, and he has always been grateful for the strong community support. “One hundred percent of your donation supports cancer research, and many lives have been extended and saved because of this fantastic cause, ...as we together seek a cure for cancer.” The PMC raised $56 million in 2018. You can read Team De-Feet’s team profile at www.pmc.org/TD0166, or you can find them on Facebook at @TeamDeFeetCancer. All the best to Team De-Feet and to our friend Steve Morris on his fight against this devastating disease. Our prayers are with you Steve to beat the odds and ride again.

As mills were being built all over New En- gland where waterpower was available, Leicester began to construct larger and better mills to replace the small pre-industrial mills that dotted the landscape. Leicester beginning in the mid 1780’s began a focus on the manu- facture of hand cards, tools used in the making of cloth. When Samuel Slater was building his Pawtucket Mill, he could not get his carding machine to operate. He then began to work with Pliny Earle of Leicester, who was engaged in the production of hand cards and known lo- cally as a mechanical tinkerer. Earle built Slater’s carding machine and Slater’s Mill began its production, signaling the beginning of America’s Industrial Revolution. By the COLLEEN SETTLE time of the Civil War, Leicester was an active and vibrant Leicester Town Common Memorial Day place. There were carding and textile mills operating in villages of Leicester Center, Greenville, Cherry Valley, Ro- HISTORY chdale, Mannville and Lakeside.

Town Administrator Tom Gregory provided the following list of Spencer’s major accomplishments over the past year: the much-anticipated re-opening of Luther Hill Park; RFPs for the redevelopment of the Lake Street School and Sugden Block which were issued by the Building and Property Re-Use Committee; and the debt exclusion passed by town meeting and voters in 2016 that came to fruition in April of 2018, as the town issued $6M bonds to begin Phase I of the $19M comprehensive road improve- ment project. Still to come by the end of the year or in the coming months, the town will demolish 18 and 20-22 Mechanic St. to make way for an expanded public parking lot to help ease congestion in that area of town. Also, at November’s town meeting, voters were asked to con- sider adopting a new general bylaw which seeks to implement new regulations for abandoned buildings. This aligns with the Selectmen’s priority to reduce/ eliminate blight in the downtown. Town meeting in While the town continues to grow and change, the bucolic nature November also asked voters to consider adopting the remains, like this pretty little dirt lane. Stretch Energy Code which is one of the components of receiving the Green Communities Designation. According to Gregory, the year 2019 promises more steady improvement and accomplishments. For example, the town plans to continue to work to reduce/eliminate blight in the downtown district, devel- op a CDBG-funded façade improvement program for businesses along Main Street, provide eligible homeowners with housing rehabilitation assistance, continue progress on the comprehensive road improvement programs, look to restore services and positions in town hall and other departments, continue to look for grant opportunities, and demolish Pleasant Street School. Gregory is satisfied with the progress Spencer has made and it goals for the near future, recognizing that it takes contributions from a variety of sources to see goals implemented. “I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve as town administrator. There is much prog- ress being made in many areas of town which I’m hopeful will continue next year and in the years to come. The good outcomes in town are the result of contributions from many individuals, committees, and boards,” said Gregory.

pencer’s First Congregational Church was original- ly in Leicester. Not until Spencer was established Sin April of 1753 thanks to Lt. Governor Spencer Phipps, the church, built in 1743 lay on Leicester land. At the time the church, originally The Second Church of Leicester, consisted as a structure of little more than a plank board barn. In 1772, this structure was replaced by a larger building considered refined for its time with the addition of a bell and steeple in 1802. View of Spencer’s Main Street from the Congregational Church More additions came in 1832 with a vestry which doubled as school added on donated land to the west of the church. A transition occurred in 1859 when the vestry came down and David Prouty High School took residence there in its place. Today, the former high school houses Senior Living at Prouty. In 1838 the church experienced a physical 90-degree rotation resulting in its front facing south. Yet in 1862, tragedy struck when the church was destroyed by fire. The church was rebuilt and dedicated in 1863 and still stands today. More improvements and additions were made in 1881, including the kitchen, and more in 1885 with an interior remodeling, redesigning project. In 1960 to the east of the church, a one-story wooden structure was erected. This addition served as classroom and office space. Most current upgrades include an elevator and modernized bathroom, as well as a sanctuary renovation and pew cushion replacement.
