BY OLIVIA RICHMAN NEWS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — Timeless Treasures is now open and looking for donations at the Sturbridge Senior Center. The costume jewelry and trinket shop con- tinues to expand, while raising money for the Friends of the Sturbridge/ Fiskdale Senior Center. Since Timeless Treasures opened on Sept. 1, it has made more than $250. All of the money is pure profit, since the items are donated from seniors that frequent the senior center and is run by volunteers. “The highest priced item is only $10,” said Senior Center Director Melissa Beauchemin. “Most of these items are only $2. We don’t want to deal with gold and getting things appraised. I have found some things that are very valu- able and returned them to the seniors. It’s amazing that we have raised over $250 when each item is only $1 or $2.” All proceeds from Timeless Treasures go to the Friends group.

“I didn’t want to paint vegetables. This was my first try,” said Winnie Waalwijk. Despite trying a new painting style for this piece, the painting was a success.

Winnie Waalwijk is the QVCAH’s first international artist, a big and exciting deal for the members. Waalwijk currently lives in Amsterdam.

Winnie Waalwijk with her favorite painting. The subject of the painting is pollution and the destruction of animals’ natural habitats, something that really bothers Waalwijk.

reached with a couple of games to spare before playing much better in 2015. Rickson appreciated his team’s approach in the offen- sive end versus the Pirates (2-7). “They moved the ball well and they played as a total team,” he said. “There was no, ‘I’m an individual person, I’m going to do this.’ They just played their game. That’s what we have to do no matter who we play against.” After many minutes of intense pressure against Oxford — which included two balls clanging off the crossbar — Tantasqua scored its first goal in the 17th minute. Lily Lucas fed a pass to Meghan Meserole, who, with her back turned to the Pirates’ net, made Nick Ethier photos a spin move to get into position.

Tantasqua held a 3-0 half- time lead when Mckensie Avanesian’s free kick was saved, but the ball pin-balled to the foot of Meserole, who deposited her shot into the left- hand corner. “The team is just that, it’s united.
