Business, Community, & Restaurant Guide

Business, Community, & Restaurant Guide Spencer, Leicester, & The Brookfields 2018

Published by the Spencer New Leader & Stonebridge Press

Dedication January 1, 2018 marks 50 years since Pope Paul VI declared the first Day of Peace in 1968. At that time, he said, “"The world must be educated to love Peace, to build it up and defend it." — Pope Paul VI, 1968

At the 50th Anniversary of this day, let us all take a moment to reflect on how we can strive to bring about a more peaceful society for ourselves, our children and our grandchildren. Let's put the violence of 2017 in the rearview and move forward with the help of God to affect change in our community and make 2018 our best year yet. We can start by truly appreciating our first responders, police, fire, and EMT's, for choosing to protect perfect strangers each day, and the sacrifices made by their families in order for them to do so. I'd like to challenge you, our readers, and for you to encourage your children and grandchildren to carry out RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS in 2018, and I'd like to share these experiences in the Spencer New Leader. Please email details of your acts of kindness to me at [email protected], whether you were the giver or the receiver, and I will publish these experiences throughout the year. You can choose to remain anonymous as the giver or the receiver if you'd like; perhaps your experiences will help to create a “Pay it Forward” mind-set in our communities. For ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren, we must try to make a difference, even if it's just one small act of kindness at a time. Choose peace and kindness in 2018. Thank you. June Simakauskas, Spencer New Leader

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon

50 BROOKFIELD www.brookfieldma.us Brookfield public service suits him just fine

If Brookfield had a face it would be wearing a friendly smile while tending the desk at town hall or working in the cemetery, or performing a marriage, or stamping the seal of the Notary Public, or filing important historical records all in the form of Michael Seery. Seery, a history buff who has a special fondness for Brookfield history, is a lifelong resident whose bond with Brookfield runs deep. His family settled here in 1923 and, he proudly adds, his grandfather established the first VFW for the Spencer-Brookfields: Post 530. His extensive public-service resume also runs deep. In the early 1980s he took a three-year job working in the Brookfield Cemetery, following in his father’s and an uncle’s footsteps. Since 1994, he has served in various volunteer capacities throughout town. As Cemetery Superintendent, Seery feels espe- cially blessed, “I find great value in caring for a historic cemetery. There’s something very special about being able to take care of and help to preserve our local history. Our oldest gravestone dates to the cemetery’s establishment in 1714. And, we know that a local famous person and former town selectman, Joshua Spooner, is buried there in a rear corner by AMY PAUL PHOTO a stone wall. Besides the historical aspects of the job, I also determine locations of interments, help to pre- Mike Seery finds his job includes a little of everything pare future gravesites, and care for the grounds.

Register for Historic Places.” “I really can’t see myself anywhere else or doing Besides caring for the cemetery, Seery has also anything else. I have just always loved it here,” he served on the Planning Board, the Board of Appeals, smiles, sliding with ease back into one of his many and the Board of Health. Currently, in addition to roles, serving his town.

Although McCrillis currently lives in Spencer, he was raised in East Brookfield, attending local schools and graduating from David Prouty with the class of 1990. After serving in the Army right out of high school, McCrillis began nursing school, leaving it to work at a Freightliner truck dealership for a few years. However, the call to serve his community as a trained paramedic became too strong to ignore. “It’s my father’s fault,” McCrillis says. “He sucked me in. One night at 3 am he got a call on a minor car accident, asking me to go along with him. That’s all it took, watching him help people and wanting to do the same thing myself.” In fact, McCrillis has spent the past 25 years doing ambulance calls, 19 of the latest years in a full-time capacity, and the last four of those in East Brookfield. McCrillis keeps busy doing what he loves as the department averages approximately 500 medic calls and nearly 100 fire department calls per year. “Some of the best parts of my job are reaching out to the community. For example, we are currently working with the East Brookfield Senior Center, AMY PAUL PHOTO giving talks about various health topics, getting them Joshua McCrillis is a second generation firefighter. comfortable with the ambulance and even changing their smoke alarm batteries!” Though McCrillis states that to be in a position ast Brookfield and surrounding towns’ resi- in which one helps put people at ease fills him like dents are in excellent hands in an emergency nothing else, he is quick to add, “As much as I love Ewith Joshua McCrillis on the team.

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 locally 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 BELIA BUYS time of the Civil War, Leicester was an active and vibrant Cedar Meadow Lake, Leicester place.

Internet alive with tales of Spider Gates

lmost everyone in the area has heard the legends that swirl around Spider Gates. People Asee and hear spirits there. People have been killed there. Satanists hold rituals there. It has eight gates, the last one leading to hell. It has only one gate, but that goes to hell. The reality is far more prosaic and picturesque. Named for its iron spider-web-design gates, Spider Gates is in reality a private cemetery, officially known as Friends Cemetery and owned by the Worcester Friends’ Meeting. It started in use back in the 1700s and still occasionally hosts burials. Unless you’ve been there, it’s not really an easy place to find. It’s off Earle Street, which shows DARIA CAPPELLETTI on town maps, but is actually a gated dirt road Quaker cemetery (spider gate) in Leicester, reflections of the between Manville and Mulberry streets dotted with trees in the brook “No Trespassing” signs.

Early history includes special recognition Imagine the year is 1928. Standing on Elm Street, Spencer, in front of the Spencer Gas Company you gaze into the sky. Overhead, chugging along at a low altitude is an air- plane. You wonder, how does the pilot know in which direction he is flying? Little do you realize that atop the Gas Company’s roof is a section of roofing painted a silver-grey and, over that background, eight-foot tall, bold yellow words spelling “Spencer, Mass” with HISTORIC PHOTO a large arrow, also painted yellow, dividing The certificate is signed by both David Guggenheim and Charles Lindbergh the words and pointing north. Before modern aerial aviation technology, navigational aids funded through the David Guggenheim Fund and suggested by Charles Lindbergh, helped pilots navigate from the air. Guggenheim, feeling that roof markings would be of great help to cross-country pilots, spearheaded the project. Interested in promotion and the progression of aviation, Guggenheim found cooperation with the Department of War, the Navy, Commerce, and the Postal Service, who supported his project. Ever the networker, Guggenheim also sought organizational aid from oil companies, railroads, the Ford Motor Company and various others. Spencer Gas Company, led by Luther Hill, became connected to the Guggenheim Fund through Hill’s best friend, Emerson Stone, the postmaster in town. Spencer Gas Company, therefore, received the honor of providing Spencer’s rooftop navigational aid to pilots. Of 2,000 communities in the 48 states that participated in the project at its inception, Spencer also soon became one of more than 8,000 towns across the country to carry rooftop identification. Because of Spencer Gas Company’s participation in the rooftop navigational aid project, Spencer residents were awarded with many aerial treats over the years. In 1931, a dirigible (a rigid, sealed balloon) titled the “Akron” and donned a patriotic red, white, and blue passed over Main Street; in 1932 the U.S. Navy dirigible “Los Angeles” flew over on Patriot’s Day; and, perhaps the most famous, the “Hindenburg” passed over on Oct. 9, 1936.

As you head west on Route 9, “at the lights” you will find our Town Hall and the Merriam Gilbert Public Li- brary. If you were to take a right turn between these two imposing buildings, you would be heading toward our town beach on lovely Lake Wickaboag. The lake is a wonderful water recreation and fishing area. It is the site of Fourth of July boat parade and house decorating contest, and winter ice fishing derbies. Just before leaving the town, as you continue westward you will see “The Rock House Reservation,” a property of the Trustees of Reservations. The reservation has hiking and nature trails, a lovely little lake, and a butterfly meadow. Part of the original settlement known as “The Quaboag Plantation,” West Brookfield was the home of Jedediah Foster, one of the forgers of the Massachu- setts Constitution, the model for our U.S. Constitution. Lucy Stone, champion of women’s rights, also called West Brookfield “home.” So, turn off the cell phone (we do have excellent coverage, by the way), turn back the clock (figuratively), and turn to West Brookfield — “A town for all seasons.”
