Cumberland Farms location was the victim of an unarmed robbery that has not yet been solved. When asked if there was any indica- tion the two incidents may be connected, Hurley said of the first incident, “At this point, we still believe that was a legitimate robbery.” A manager at the Main Street Cumberland Farms, who identified herself as Angela and did not give a last name, refused to comment on the robbery.

Courtesy photos SWEET STACKS OF COOKIES

NORTH BROOKFIELD — On Thursday, May 15, it was time once again for the annual Oreo cookie stacking competition between Mrs. Sokol’s first-graders and Mr. Sarrette’s seniors. Regardless of the fact that Mr. Sarrette posts a winless record of 0-8, an intense rivalry exists between these two teams. Mr. Sarrette’s A-Team was enhanced this year by a “ringer” in Brenda Casey, who is responsible for the team’s matching jer- seys. The first-graders and seniors were evenly matched, and the contest was tied going in to the final match, which pitted the undefeated Mrs. Sokol against the winless Mr. Sarrette. The tension was palpable and upset was in the air, but unfortunately for Mr. Sarrette and his A-Team it was not to be. As the whistle sounded, Mr. Sarrette’s cookie stack toppled over with only five cookies remaining upright. The ever-wily Mrs. Sokol, with the controversial assistance of a dowel, remains undefeated and improves her record to 9-0. SPENCER BUSINESS DIRECTORY

Middle row left to right: Friends and families of the graduates file into the hall. Sarah Hann, foreground, and Nicole Hansen take the walk to get their diplomas. Two of the underclassmen assigned to be ushers help guide families into the auditorium at the DCU Center, Worcester. As the ceremony concludes, an audience member congratulates the seniors in her own way.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

OK, I’ve become way too much of a car snob. I’ve been spoiled recently by cars like the 2009 Audi A4, the 2008 Saab TurboX and the Infiniti EX35. This week I’m fortunate to have taken delivery of the 2008 Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas. So, initially it was tough to swallow the fact that I had to spend a week with the 2009 Toyota Camry XLE sedan. But then a funny thing happened. I spent a week with the Camry and was reminded why this has become the second best-selling vehicle in the United States: there is noth- ing wrong with it. Sure, there might be things you don’t like about it, but there is nothing wrong with the Camry. I had one complaint with it: a lack of headroom because of the power tilt/slide moonroof with sunshade. That’s a problem solved by buying the SE trim level. How great is that? Solve a problem by spending less money. That’s my kind of solution. The best thing I liked about the Camry I drove is its 2.4-liter, 158-horsepower,161 The 2009 Toyota Camry has changed so little, Toyota only has pictures of the 2008 XLE sedan available on its media website. lb.-ft. peak torque at 4,000 rpm, dual overhead cam four-cylinder engine.
