BY GUS STEEVES NEWS STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — Paper or plastic? How about neither? That’s what the state Department of Environmental Protection, supermarkets and some local shoppers are saying is becoming a more popular option. Last month, DEP released figures claiming there has been a 25 percent reduction in the use of both kinds of disposable bags since 2007. A visit last Friday to the Big Y plaza, however, shows plastic, especially, seems to be as popular as ever. Over the course of a half-four the vast majority of people departing the store had such bags, sometimes many of them. But MaryAnn Dunlop wasn’t one of them. Her cart held two fabric bags she said she’s been using at least six years. “I’ve used them since long before they started selling [reusable bags],” the Southbridge resident said. “… I used to get magazine sub- scriptions just to get the bags. They’d say if you didn’t like the magazine, send it back and keep the bag, so I did.” Not far away, Tom Pandolfi of Woodstock certainly looked like Dunlop’s polar opposite. He was unloading more than a dozen plastic bags into his hatchback, which contained a few reusable bags. Gus Steeves photos “I do bring my own. Unfortunately, I left them here [in his car] today,” he said, admit- MaryAnn Dunlop, of Southbridge, takes a fabric bag out of her cart.

BY GUS STEEVES STONEBRIDGE PRESS STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — Ever since she got a kidney transplant earlier this year, Robin Lataille has had a new lease on life. She also has a neckful of Olympic-like medals to prove it. Between July 30 and Aug. 4, Lataille joined 18 other people representing New England in the U.S. Transplant Games, a mini-Olympics for people who have had transplants, their donors and family members. “It’s supposed to promote showing the athletes can do things they didn’t think were possible before the transplant,” she said. “… Every time I swim laps, I don’t get tired. I’m able to do what I did for 30 years.” Until she got seriously ill — about 8 years of gradually progressive kidney disease led to congestive heart failure and other issues last year — Lataille had been working at the Y pre- school and teaching swimming. Although her work schedule limits her time for the latter to one private student, she’s at least able to do it again. But even before she got a new kidney, while at the hospital in spring 2009, she had seen the transplant games and knew she wanted to go. Her social worker Lisa Glasheen almost immediately predicted she’d make it. Sure enough, she did seven months later. That was two months before she was techni- cally eligible; to do so, she needed special permission. In Wisconsin, Lataille found around 1,200 participants in the same situation she is, ages 2-80, putting their newly renovated bodies through swim laps, volleyball games, track Above, Robin Lataille stands outside the Exhibition and field games and other sports as nearly Hall in Madison, Wisc., where opening and closing 4,000 supporters cheered them on.
