Joann D. Eldridge, 81, passed away in the early morning hours on Jan. 26, 2021, of Merkel cell carcinoma. She leaves behind her life partner of 38 years, Ruth Ostenson, and her beloved Ragdoll kitty, Luna.
Joann was born on August 31, 1939 in Milford, to Joe and Ethel Eldridge. She spent her early years in Worcester, until her parents moved to the Sagamore/Buzzard’s Bay area. Joann attended Bourne Grammar School and Bourne High School, graduating in 1957. She often traveled with her father up and down the East Coast waterways, as he was a sports fisherman. Because of his tutelage, Joann entered a state-wide fishing contest at age10 and won first prize, traveling to the Massachusetts State House to receive her award.

Kyle Newton is getting closer to making his head coaching debut for the Yuma High School wrestling teams. An assistant for the past few years, Newton was promoted to head coach last spring following the retirement of Rory Lynch. His hiring came at a time when there was not a lot of actual wrestling he could do with his grapplers, and then came the delay to the wrestling season until this month. “The kids are ready to do something again,” Newton said earlier this week. The first official practice finally was this past Monday. The boys team opens the shortened Season B campaign next Thursday, January 28, at home with a triangular against Highland and Sterling. The girls open Saturday, January 30, with a quadrangular at Doherty High School in Colorado Springs.
