My name is Molly and I'm kind of a miracle. I'm only six years old, but if you'd seen me when I first came to the shelter, you'd never believe I'd make it this far! But here I am, healthier than ever and twice as plump! Between you and me though, I'll gladly do some more plumping if you're willing to supply the treats. As much I don't like this part, I need someone who'll make sure I get my thyroid medicine too. I feel so much better than I did in my old life and I never want to look back. There is ONE thing I love more than treats, and that's attention. I love to be loved and I have so much to give back to you that I'd prefer not to share my people with any other cats. If your calm home needs a Molly to liven it up, I'm your girl. I'm available to foster or adopt, but let's face it, there's no way you'll give me back!

ANOTHER YEAR IN BUSINESS Smart Shopper started its 13th year in business this year. It is our mission to help businesses in the area succeed. We design beautiful ads and logos and circulate our paper to as many people as we can through the United States Post Office, racks, the internet, and even Facebook. On the internet, you can either read an entire paper online turning page by page or you can read the events happening in town, with the most current happenings on the top. All of this helps our advertisers showcase their businesses so that when you need something for you or your home or a service that will make your life better, you can find it in our weekly paper.
Our sales team is ready to visit our local merchants and their store to better understand what needs to be done to make sure everyone knows about their services and products. They can help with timing, size and the right message for each advertiser. Thank you Tina, Tammy, Bob, and Katie for all your hard work.
No other publication circulates to as many homes in the Webster, Dudley, Oxford, and Charlton area on a weekly basis all through the year.
Without readers the paper would not be in business. Thank you readers for telling the merchants where you saw their ad. When they know how faithful you are to the paper, they continue to support it and advertise in a paper where they know their money is invested well. That is the only way we can continue to be free.
We strive to help businesses succeed. We do that, not just through advertising, but through services to help each merchant improve their visibility to the public. We also do websites, business cards, posters, signs, flyers (printing and/or insertions in our paper), Facebook pages, document shredding, and much more. These services make it easier for our advertisers to concentrate on their core business. The Smart Shopper team operates from Webster center, not India, because we know our community and are better able to help our advertisers in a timely manner, sometimes in a few hours. I am very proud of our talented design team of Michelle and Pete. They really care and produce exciting designs for our customers. We sometimes even see their work in other papers because they do such a great job. Thank you Michelle and Pete for sharing your talents.
No team would be successful without leadership. Thank you Kim and Pete for your efforts in making Smart Shopper the best paper in town. You are real team players. I am not sure the word “NO� is in your vocabulary. Whether you are helping someone with a fax or designing a town guide, you are ready to help.
Besides listing the calendar of events happening in town so that you can know what is happening locally, I want to thank you, the non profit organizations. We are so proud to be able to donate unsold space to articles about your mission to help those less fortunate than you. We have been able to help the Community Cat Connection, animal shelters, local food pantries, disaster survivors, and many more with the generosity of you, our readers. It has been a great 13 years and we look forward to many more. Carol Toomey, Publisher

That’s Entertainment That’s Entertainment is well-known as Worcester’s pop culture emporium, at the corner of Park Avenue and Lois Lane. The store was established in 1980 in a small space on Chandler Street and enjoyed great success as one of the area’s leading comic book shops. By 1992, store owner Paul Howley was interested in finding a location large enough to incorporate departments for all kinds of popular culture merchandise and collectibles. He soon purchased the large brick building at 244 Park Avenue and created the landmark 10,000 square foot retail and event space that we know today. New and back-issue comic books remain the cornerstone of the store’s success. The tall racks of new comic books stretch 100 feet end to end. You’ll find comics featuring all the superheroes that have come to dominate the world’s movie screens, along with emerging superheroes known only to comic fans, as well as comics aimed at younger readers. There is also a large section for hundreds of comic titles popular among the many readers of cutting-edge genres. Boxes of thousands and thousands of back-issue comics from the 1940s up through recent years fill about a third of the floor space. In addition to comics, That’s Entertainment has become a destination of choice for fans of current and vintage video games and consoles, collectible card games, board games and role-playing games, toys and action figures, new and old vinyl records, as well as sports cards and memorabilia. The broad and deep selection in so many areas has made That’s Entertainment a unique retail experience that regularly draws people from all over New England, and sometimes from much farther away.

That’s Entertainment’s stated mission is to be “a welcoming and inclusive store, where people of all ages can interact positively over their common passion for popular culture and collectibles.� The approach was validated back in 1997 when the store was an early recipient of a “Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retail Award,� which recognizes "an individual retailer who has done an outstanding job of supporting the comics art medium both in the community and within the industry at large." “We’ve thrived in Worcester for over 38 years,� says store owner Paul Howley, “We’ve seen young people who shopped with us over the years grow up, and then come in with their children, and even their grandchildren! We’re proud to have become a tradition across generations.� Offering the kind of items that inspire joy, wonder and nostalgia is only part of the story at That’s Entertainment. The store regularly holds fun and memorable events: some that promote participation in the hobbies; some that present opportunities to meet celebrities and creators; and some that tap into the vibrant creative energy of the local Community. Free Comic Book Day, Record Store Day, Table Top Gaming Day, and Batman Day are all annual events, and there is always a signing event, game tournament or board game demonstration on the schedule. Howley gives most of the credit for the store’s long, continuing run to the enthusiasm and dedication of the people working there. “We’ve always had people here with a real passion for our products. They’ve treated customers respectfully and connected with the collectors in a sincere and friendly way, and really communicated an absolute love for pop culture.�
