It's a four-peat! Elgar wins Laubi 5K. Fall
River's Madalena Boudreau takes top female. Westport runners take seven of the top 15 winning
spots. EverythingWestport.com Sunday,

Elgar lost 23 seconds
off his previous best of 17:21, probably because his nemesis, 2010 winner Eric
Worsley, was absent this year, taking pressure off
the Attleboro speedster. The multi-event winner
has dominated this race, winning four of the last five Laubi
5Ks. In 2011, Christopher Elgar of Attleboro
(17:28) edged out Eric Worsley of Fall River
(17:31) in a near photo finish to win 7th Annual Devin Laubi 5K Walk/Run. Charles Hoffshire of Westport finished 2nd at 18:38; and last
year’s 3rd place finisher, Peter Danzell of
Dartmouth, repeated that performance this year with a time of 19:18, almost a
minute off last year’s performance. The Westport charity
sponsored this and other yearly fundraisers to assist those families with
children who have cancer.
"I just work
through the tightness and occasional pain," Boudreau said. "I
manage a slightly slower pace and try to keep my competitive nature in check
to keep from going all out to try to win." Top New Bedford runner
Jo Ann Mathews, 2010 and 2012 female winner, was noticeably absent this year.
The injury-prone Mathews is a fierce competitor when
she’s healthy. Boudreau ran injured
last year. Amy Pacheco of
Westport took a close 2nd female with a 23:21.
Under 18 runners repeat last year’s performances. Connor Toth
of Westport, last year’s 1st place winner (21:28) again took 1st with 21:00;
and Jillian Crespi of Berkley, last year’s 3rd place
finisher (27:18) again took 3rd with a run of 27:24. Tiverton’s Linnea Bjornson took the second spot at 25:37. Cool runnings. The weather was crisp,
breezy and full of sunshine, but didn’t produce any new records. However, a
slightly larger turnout populated this year’s field of 5K competitors. "Thank you
to everyone that came out for a nice day supporting our work for those in
need. We could never accomplish all we do without our many wonderful
volunteers (unsung heroes)," Robin Burns-Laubi
said.

season with pizazz, pinot noir and three new artists.
EverythingWestport.com Sunday,
May 05, 2013 Doors swung open for the summer season at
the Art Stable Gallery during Memorial Day Weekend, and they were pleased to
announce that they have added three highly acclaimed artists to their
exhibitors. These featured new artists are: Don Cadoret,
a nationally recognized story painter; Sarah
Desjardins, a popular watercolorist known for her local focus; and Teresa Mowery, who handcrafts
striking designs with copper.
Above: the Art Stable’s thoroughbred
artisans include from the left: Don Cadoret, Susan Medyn, Kelley MacDonald, Teresa Mowery, Karen Raus, Nancy Whitin, amd Kelly Milukas. Missing from
the photo is Sarah Desjardins who was traveling. Continuing at the gallery this year are
Susan Medyn, Kelley MacDonald, Kelly Milukas, Karen Raus, and Nancy Whitin. They work in a variety of mediums from
pastel and oil to photography, encaustic, and watercolor to create works
ranging from evocative to whimsical. Their modern and traditional approaches
incorporate provocative perspectives, bold color and experimental techniques. The opening weekend also featured an
exhibition of works by children who attended artist Karen Raus's
encaustic class. Encaustic is a process that blends hot wax and color to
achieve a wide range of textures. (Pictured below.)
Above: watercolors by Sarah
Desjardins. The Art Stable is situated in a charming
barn that was once a carriage house for the Victorian farmhouse now the home
of Partners Village Store and Kitchen. The Gallery will be open weekends
throughout the season. Additional hours will be on an informal schedule, and
weekday openings can also be arranged by calling 774.930.5802 for an
appointment.
