WOONSOCKET – What is an appropriate slogan for the 2011 Mount St. Charles girls’ volleyball teams?
“Keep the good times rolling” seems applicable, given that the Mounties under the careful watch and observation of head coach Josh D’Abate have blossomed into a perennial championship contender. Standing at 13-0 in Division I-North with one regular season game remaining – tonight at home vs. La Salle – this Mount team is following in the footsteps of its decorated predecessors (MSC has posted a whopping 65-10 regular-season record since 2007, winning the Div. II championship in 2009).
There are phone calls and then there are phone calls like the one Mount St. Charles hockey coach Dave Belisle received from Catholic Memorial coach Bill Hanson in late September.
WOONSOCKET – Mayor Leo T. Fontaine may not have an opponent on next month’s election ballot but he does have a cause.
Fontaine says he’s doing everything he can to persuade voters to reject the proposed synchronization of municipal, state and federal elections. It’s one of four referendum questions that will appear on the ballot of the citywide election Nov. 8.
“I’m speaking out against it every chance I get,” says the mayor.
