Going Green Cirba to step down from school board

DEAL DEPENDS ON UNION DROPPING COMPLAINT

BY DAVID DORE NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER SPENCER — Robert Cirba has agreed to resign from the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School Committee in exchange for the teachers’ union dropping a prohibited practice complaint against Cirba and the board. Spencer-East Brookfield Teachers Association President Mark James said Monday, May 23 he signed an agreement, which was dropped off that afternoon at Cirba’s Spencer home for his signa- ture. The agreement states the union and the Mark James Massachusetts Teachers Association would ask that the complaint they filed in February with the state Department of Labor Relations be dismissed if Cirba steps down. Cirba said Monday he would sign the agreement and give it to School Committee Chairman Matthew McCarthy Tuesday,May 24, after the New Leader’s press deadline. The reason for the delay, Cirba explained, is because he was asked to stay on the school board until a new contract with janitors is completed. “It’ll be official as soon as negotiations are done David Dore photos tomorrow night,” Cirba said. Robert Cirba “If he follows through with his resignation, the WEST BROOKFIELD — Residents flocked to the West charges will be dropped against him and the School Committee,” James Brookfield Town Common Saturday, May 21 for the ninth said. annual Asparagus and Flower Heritage Festival.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — With most spring sports teams having multiple postponed games because of the recent inclement weather, the Tantasqua girls’ lacrosse team was the only show to see on May 18, and what a show it was. The Warriors, playing in a mist on a some- what wet field, won lucky game No. 13 – and 13th straight – by defeating Nipmuc, 14-7. After losing their first two games of the sea- son, Tantasqua improved to 13-2. The victory also gave the Warriors the Mid Mass Lacrosse League title, as Nipmuc, now 9-4 overall and 5-2 in the league, was the only other team close in the standings. Tantasqua is 7-0 in league play and is still undefeated at home. Coach Heather Egan admitted that her team came out flat – the Warriors were down 1-0 and 4-2 in the first half – before taking a 5- 4 halftime lead and building upon that in the second half. Tantasqua won scoring in the second half 9-3 for the seven-goal win. Jessica Farland led the charge with five goals and three assists, while Allison Minchoff also played a strong game, register- ing point totals of two goals and three assists. Tantasqua’s Jocelyn Hoye launches a pass over to a Nick Ethier photos Melissa Frio had two goals and an assist, and teammate. Olivia Connly contributed with two goals. Tantasqua’s Alyx Darger flings the ball up while on the run. Other players collecting points in the win were Cassidy Robert (one goal, one assist), net for the Warriors.

SOCCER SKILLS LEAD TO A FREE TRIP TO LONDON

BROOKFIELD — When Socks for Siberia organiz- ers gave soccer balls, shin guards and cleats to orphans in Siberia who’d been using flip-flops and an old basketball, they never imagined where those cleats would take those boys. The boys ended up playing their way up to — and winning — an international soccer tournament in Sochi, Russia, home of the 2014 Olympics. Their prize was a one-week trip to London, where, on their own dime, Socks for Siberia organizers Wally and Michele Connor of Brookfield met them. After the tournament the middle-school age boys were treated to a visit to Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London. It was there that the enormity of that small donation hit Michele Connor. “I was up on a ramp, taking pictures, and just I fell apart,” she said. “It was an overwhelming thing to see these boys there, these boys that were castaways, who never would have imagined this. To know they got started because of the equipment … it was a mind-blower.” It all started last summer, when the orphanage’s coach, after thanking the Connors for Socks for Siberia’s donation of basketball hoops and basket- balls, almost meekly asked for one more thing. “He said, ‘You’ve already done so much, but there’s one little thing, and that is soccer equipment — the kids love to play so much, they will play in their flip- Courtesy photo flops with a beat-up basketball,’” Michele Connor Michelle Connor of Brookfield, right, visits with some of the orphans helped by her and her husband’s group, Socks for Siberia, during their 2009 trip to Russia. recounted.

The Council for Professional Recognition (www.cdacouncil.org) in Washington, D.C., awards credentials to early childhood educators who demonstrate the ability to constructively work with young chil- dren in group settings. “It takes special knowledge, skills, and expertise to be an effective teacher of young children,” says Valora Washington, CEO of the Council. “It’s a great honor to earn a CDA and shows a commitment to quality early childhood education.” The CDA is a nationally recognized credential for excellence in early childhood education. Each CDA candidate is observed working with young children and is assessed on their ability to develop the physical, emotional, and intellectual capabilities of young children. The CDA community nationwide is having a positive effect on the quality of early childhood education by helping preschools, day care centers, and family child care programs hire qualified and competent professionals who ensure the best care for our nation’s youngest.

SPENCER — With some help from several businesses and a crew of people backstage, students at Knox Trail Junior High School recently held a fashion show, dubbed “A Year in Fashion, A Season of Love.” Dozens of students — and even several teachers — strutted their stuff down a catwalk built in the school gymnasium, book- ended by appearances from the New Year’s baby and the old man that symbolizes the end of another year. The show also fea- tured a performance of the song “Seasons of Love” from the Broadway musical “Rent.”

David Dore photos Joyce Nelson, the director of the Knox Trail fashion show, gave some pointers before students took the stage.

The show started with a “flash mob,” a group of students who walked on stage, did several dance moves and left almost as quickly as they appeared, all to the Taio Cruz hit “Dynamite.”
