BY AMBER START SPECIAL TO THE NEW LEADER Malia Jusczyk is 3 1/2 years old and has spent the last year of her life trying to crush her Stage IV (high-risk) neuroblastoma. Last April, her AACCURACYCCURACY battle began with six rounds of chemotherapy, several surgeries, one to remove her tumor which included her adrenal gland, another to WAATCHTCH remove a kidney that still had active cancer W cells, a stem cell transplant which was followed with four months of isolation, 12 rounds of pro- ton radiation, and currently a six-month regi- CORRECTION: ment of immunotherapy.

Studies have shown that genetics and environ- mental factors are not involved. No drugs or treatments are available today designed to specifically treat neuroblastoma. The five-year survival rate for high-risk cases of neuroblas- toma is less than 40 percent. There is a zero per- cent of survival for patients who relapse. Back in January of this year, Malia was deemed cancer-free, or rather the scans revealed no sign of disease. The tests at that time revealed her remaining kidney was not functioning fully and this would be a concern going forward with her treatments. The Jusczyks decided to go forward, knowing just how aggressive this type of cancer is. Malia is currently through the fourth round of the immunotherapy, which has been extremely rough on her, causing her unimaginable pain. The reason to go forward with this ther- apy is that studies have shown it improves the outcome for patients. This therapy is used to target these specific neuro-cells so that they are unable LAV’S to grow and spread. Because this cancer is of the nervous system, pain can come from anywhere in the patient’s body.

BY MICHAEL CORSO SPORTS CORRESPONDENT UXBRIDGE — For Southbridge softball coach Rick Carrero it has been the “same old song and dance.” The May 3 contest vs. Uxbridge was a testament to that. After jumping out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the first inning, his Pioneers gave up 22 runs in the next two, including a 15-run second inning, en route to a 25-5 five inning mercy rule shortened game. “It’s the same story,”Carrero said. “We jump out to a 2-0 lead and I felt like if we scored early in the game we could put the pressure on them. It’s frustrating.” Meanwhile, the Spartans (8-3) have started to hit their stride at exactly the right time. After starting the season 1-3, Uxbridge has run off seven consecutive victories, includ- ing wins over Quaboag and Leicester. Spartans head coach Lauren Bouchard is pleased with the way her team has turned it on in recent Nick Ethier photos weeks. Southbridge shortstop Janetis Cardona catches the ball and waits to tag out “This is what I expected from the Southbridge’s Tanishia Espino lunges for first base, but Uxbridge’s Courtney Rogers Uxbridge would-be base stealer Abby Sawyer. get-go,” she said. “The beginning of stretches to make the grab in time for an out. the season was a little bit of a let- down. The girls are starting to believe in each other and them- selves. We had a little bit of nerves coming into the season with some of the young players but the nerves are starting to fizzle out.” Senior hard thrower Kelsey Norberg went the distance for Uxbridge giving up five runs on four hits while striking out six. She set- tled down nicely after the first two innings in which she allowed all five runs to score. “Kelsey is our superstar and I do not know where we would be with- out her,” Bouchard said. “She is bat- tling an injury so she is not at 100 percent right now.” Norberg did not need to be at full strength with the run support her team supplied her. Courtney Rogers led the charge going 3-for-3 with a pair of RBI’s and five runs scored. Third baseman Uxbridge’s Chelsea Cota watches as she takes a pitch up high for a ball.

DOUGLAS — When seemingly every baseball, softball, lacrosse, tennis, and track and field contest throughout Central Mass. was postponed due to rain on May 1, the Douglas boys’ volleyball team was the only (indoor) show in town, as they took on Medfield. The Tigers lost 3-0, with set scores of 26- 24, 25-9, 25-21. Douglas was competitive in the first set and had a chance to win it late, but they couldn’t pull through. The Tigers then couldn’t get out of the blocks in the second set, but they rallied in the third. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough, as Ryan Walker of Douglas follows through on his first Medway eventually prevailed. set serve.

DOUGLAS — Anyone that lives in Douglas knows how extremely fortunate we are to have all the trails in town that we do. A major trail that runs through Douglas into the Douglas State Forest, through the Blackstone Valley and into Connecticut is the Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT), a designated National Recreational Trail. This trail is in need of some tender lov- ing care to make it the jewel that it can be. This trail is open to horseback riding, hik- ing, mountain biking and snowmobiling. It is to all of you, that I invite, to join us in transforming this trail. In April we started holding trail work days/evenings to begin this transforma- tion. The first segment that we are target- ing is between Franklin Street and Depot Street. This was the worst hit from the Halloween snow storm last year. The first trail work session was held on April 17 working from 5 to 6:30 pm. Our vol- unteers for that evening were Cheryl April 22, Earth Day.
