SOUTHBRIDGE — After the tragic shooting death of Auburn Police Officer Ronald Tarentino last month, Southbridge held a candlelight vigil on the Town Common on Tuesday, May 31, uniting the community in a Call for Peace in memory of the fallen officer. “Light the Dark” included remarks from com- munity leaders and local law enforcement officials, as well as an interfaith prayer.

A bilingual Benediction was led by Rev. William Feliciano of Iglesias El Mesias & Pastor Kirsten Roenfeldt of Bethlehem Lutheran Church.

Olivia Richman photos Southbridge resident Heather Peck-Oullette The Call for Peace was a time for the community to reflect on the life started off the Light the Dark ceremony with of Officer Tarentino and the work police officers in their own commu- a musical performance. nity have done.

Southbridge’s Police Department held their heads down during the moment of silence in honor of Officer Ronald Tarentino.

Singer Heather Peck-Oullette addressed the police officers and fire- fighters behind her as heroes.

A sermon was led by Father Peter Joyce of Saint John Paul II Parish: “We must come together. We have so much to share, a com- mon purpose as a community.” The invocation was led by Rev. Michael Rondeau of ViewPoint Christian Church. “He was a unique, special officer,” he said. “We are speaking about peace not only for his family, but for the town and community.”

Southbridge residents gathered on the Town Common for the commu- nity’s Call for Peace ceremony in honor of Officer Ronald Tarentino.

“It’s a difficult time, but we are asking the community to come together as one,” said Town Councilor Esteban Carrasco Jr. “The officers and first responders in Southbridge have a tough job, but if Shawn Moriarty introduced the Southbridge High School’s new princi- A little boy wears a “Tarentino Strong” T-shirt we unite as one with a single purpose – to make Southbridge a better pal Dr. Andrae Townsel. in support of the fallen officer. place — we will get there.”

NEWS BRIEF

“We have to increase the peace,” said Principal Dr. Andrae Townsel. “The violence cycle Quaboag Choral Society announces spring concert season continues … When will we break it? Tarentino is a loss to the community, a loss to the state, to the country.” WEST BROOKFIELD — The Quaboag Choral Society is pleased to announce their spring concert season “Take This Stage.” Shakespeare penned, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” This season the Quaboag Choral Society will musically explore the seven stages of man by performing several pieces of Shakespearean works masterfully set to music. Throw in a few contemporary pieces, a madrigal or two and the chorus has the makings of truly stage worthy tribute to the Bard. This marks the 4th season for the Choral Society. As with all of the choral group’s concerts, “Take This Stage” will continue the increasingly popular tra- dition of combining music with semi-staged vignettes. This year marks 400 years since the passing of Shakespeare. Shakespeare’s influence still reverberates today as his works are repeatedly adapted, rediscov- ered and reinterpreted throughout the world. The Quaboag Choral Society will perform five area concerts this season. Concert dates include June 11 in North Brookfield at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, June 12 at the Rutland Congregational Church, June 17 in Warren at Emmanuel Orthodox Church and June 18 at the Sturbridge Federated Church. All concerts begin at 6:30 p.m. and are free to the public. The concert series is sponsored in part by cultural grants from the North Brookfield, Rutland, Sturbridge and Warren Cultural Councils, local agencies that are sup- Southbridge residents stood in silence, holding a candle in memory of Officer Ronald Tarentino. ported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.

WORCESTER — Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton said goodbye to the Class of 2016 on Friday, June 3, during the school’s annual commencement cere- mony at the DCU Center in Worcester. Graduates from Auburn, Charlton, Dudley, East Brookfield, North Brookfield, Oxford, Paxton, Rutland, Southbridge, Spencer, Webster and Worcester celebrated the end of one journey and the beginning of another as they crossed the stage to accept their diplomas and embark on their next adventure in continued education or exploring the trade they worked to per- fect over the past four years.

Jason Bleau photos Valedictorian Madison Bellerive speaks to the Class of 2016 urging them to work hard in their future endeavors and thanking them for four greats years at Bay Path.

Steve Normand Bussiere was one of the first men to make his way across the stage, proud- ly accepting his diploma.

Jessica Rose McPherson graduated with an impressive resume, including three years as a member of the National Honor Society at Bay Path.
