BY MARK ASHTON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER SOUTHBRIDGE — There’s a new voice in town, one with her very own pulpit, and one who’s not afraid to use it. The voice belongs to Pastor Sophia Cooper, who began her duties at the First United Methodist Church (UMC) on Main Street on July 1 and who came to that calling and assignment by way of a rather cir- cuitous route. A native of Cape Cod and the Hyannis area, Cooper is a 1997 graduate of Barnstable High School. She followed that up with studies at Cape Cod Community College (through 2000) and then moved to Worcester, where she married and shifted her studies to Quinsigamond Community College. Eventually, she transferred all her credits back to CCCC and received a degree in liberal arts. Since 2005, the family has attended Wellspring United Methodist Church in Shrewsbury, where they were “very wel- Sophia Cooper is the new pastor at First United comed” and others soon noticed that she Methodist Church in Southbridge. had “a lot of music experience.” In fact, she has “been a musician, playing the flute moved and “came forward,” says Cooper, since the fourth grade, and also a singer, admitting that her ministerial path “seems a really odd story.” since back in elementary school,” says Courtesy photos Cooper.

STURBRIDGE — After a weekend (July 20-21) of pool play consisting of four games, the Sturbridge Connie Mack team — a squad of mostly 12- year-olds playing for the final time on the smaller diamond — was matched up with Joe DiMaggio of Worcester in a quarterfinal contest. Sturbridge, seeded sixth after a 1-3 weekend, met No. 3 Joe DiMaggio (who was 4-0) at the Town Barn Field on July 23 with a berth into the semifinals on the line. It appeared that Sturbridge would pull off the upset as they grabbed a 2-0 lead, but Joe DiMaggio rallied late to win a 3- 2 decision.

BY JON GOUIN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT OXFORD — On Saturday evening, July 27, the Stanley Johnson Little League field played host to the biggest sluggers in District 5’s Major Division for the fourth annual Home Run Derby. The contest featured 25 players (an increase of 10 from 2012) between the ages of 10 and 12 from across the district. Joe LeClair of the Oxford Little League, and the event’s coordina- tor, was very pleased with the turnout of both sluggers and fans alike for the event inspired by Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby. “It’s a lot of fun,” said LeClair. “It’s a day not just for the kids, but for the whole district to come together, relax, introduce themselves and have a good time.” Bradley Zona of Auburn won the event, clubbing 14 home runs and also hitting the longest ball of the night, a 320-foot moonshot that landed in the woods well beyond the left-centerfield fence.
