Shrewsbury - Having been snake bitten in each of the past two seasons with one-goal playoff losses - including a painful overtime shootout to eventual state-finalist Algonquin Regional High School in 2016 - there was overt determination that no allowance of a ‘three-peat’ would occur for the top-seed Shrewsbury High School hockey team. The undefeated and spirited Colonials took to the ice at Fitchburg’s jam-packed Wallace Civic Center March 12 looking to reverse their recent playoff misfortunes and did just that quite handily with a 4-1 victory over second-seed Wachusett Regional High School in the Central Mass. Division 3 Tournament. Shrewsbury (21-0-1) moved on to face Western champion Westfield High School (17-5) March 15 at Springfield’s MassMutual Center in a state semifinal.

Westborough - Kim Harrington wanted to be a writer ever since she could hold a pencil. She spent countless hours as a young girl dreaming up and writing all sorts of stories. When it came time to choose a career though, she realized that she had to be realistic. "I thought aspiring to be a novelist was naïve, like saying you want to be a rock star," Harrington said. "So in college I majored in marketing, then went on to get my MBA and join the corporate world. But writing still pulled at me. So I dabbled in it on the side, as a hobby. I wrote three novels that were rejected all over the place - and rightly so. Then I wrote "Clarity," which was published by Scholastic last year."
